Hello everyone,

I thought it wise to join a support group facing the challenge of breast cancer. I was diagnosed a month ago today with IDC 2B G2 boob cancer in one boob. Got a mini donut in there apparently. Now poised to meet the oncology team to set up a chemo ride before the op. I was surprised at the time scale that my consultant described today. 3 rounds or more going to take a while.

I'm quite well in myself and apprehensive about becoming sick. I work with kids, who we know as mighty infection sharers, so no going to work for me for some time I guess. This is a tough pill to swallow.                                                                           

I'm a youngish grandma, recently celebrating the arrival of my latest grandchild last week. I like arts and crafts as hobbies and have knitted an impressive amount of baby clothes recently : )                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

I'm looking forward to 'meeting' you and giving and getting 'leg-ups' on this journey to recovery.
