Hi there,

I was diagnosed with BC and had a mastectomy just before Christmas. It has been a whirl wind of appointments including follow ups with my beautiful surgeon Belinda, physiotherapy, encologist and today it was IVF. On top of that I have quit work, weaned my 16 month old Max and handed over a lot of his care to others. It feels like we are in a bad dream and we have had our moments but we have mostly remained positive. I am looking forward to meeting/ chatting with others who have been there and done this.

I have never bloged before and I'm hoping this works... Cheers, Deanne Davis
