Hi, I'm new to the group and have just had my 1st chemo session so all is very new. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Oct, had a single mastectomy in November. I am very lucky that I have an amazing husband supporting me and my children when they can as neither live close. Thanks for accepting me.
