Hi All !
I am new to this site and quite not sure how to begin !!
Diagnosed with early BC in Autumn 2008. Surgery early December 09 followed by Chemo on 22nd Jan and Radiotherapy- and now hormone therapy (Femera).
Chemo and Radio thankfully had NO adverse effects other than complete hair loss. Hair now growing fast. Why I expect you are thinking is she worrying ?
What I would really like advice on is how and when should I try and get holiday insurance.
All advice appreciated !!!

The person doing the loading is off for the weekend, come monday morning 9.00 I will have my e-mail to say I can get in, stop worrying. 9.00 monday morning VOILA! here I am! Coincidence? don...
Friends came to see me Friday. True friends. Friends that call me to see how I am doing. Is there anything I need? When can we see you? Those kind of friends. And it was wonderful to see them again.

I did fill them in as to my health status because they wanted to know and we discussed my treatment plan but that was it. I almost felt cancer-less. I almost felt like I did pre-cancer. Like in...
Well i have done my first week of radiotherapy, it was absolutely fine. Amazing to think that something you cannot see or feel can do so much work. I just hope it is doing what it should do to me!
Unfortunately, i have managed to get a really bad wee infection. I took a sample with me on Fri and it appears i have too much protein, & white blood cells in my urine, so after i had my r/t treatment i got sent to the clinic and was given some antibacterial tabs to take this weekend. Not sure they...

It was a good holiday and we nearly got banned for life thanks to Baz and Lew Lew but we didnt. I was in such a state and really had a go at Baz and walked off and then Andrea and I had a big cuddle and she calmed me down and think...
