So this is my first post on this website. I am a 22 year old female living in South Gippsland, Victoria. My mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in May of 2015. So far we have concurred chemotherapy and surgery (lumpectomy). Coming up next month is radiotherapy. Personally, I am struggling. I dont know how to cope anymore and deal with my mothers emotional roller coasters on a daily basis. I wake up not knowing whether she is going to be in a good mood or a bad mood. If im going to get yelled at or asked if we would like to have breakfast together or go for a drive.

Hi I need help, I finished my treatment of chemo and radiation a month ago and I'm struggling to find energy. By the time I get up and get myself ready for the day, I'm exhausted. It's so frustrating as in my mind I can do things but my body just won't let me. I have to force myself to walk my dog twice a day but I am so exhausted afterwards I just lay down for hours. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get energy and motivation back?

Hi everyone, I just got myself quite upset and worked up and feeling the need to vent. I'm usually quite good at judging things impartially, but in this case I don't trust myself - I could just be looking at things from a skewed perspective BUT I'm feeling really under-represented as a Stage IV cancer patient. Those with Stage IV do not have much time left - this is an emergency! We have no cure! We need it NOW!

In thinking of a user name for this site, Free came to mind simply because I don't have cancer myself. The image of the horse appealed because it was running against the wind and tide. It helped me to feel hopeful. Now my Mum is free, no more pain, no more confusion. She is in Heaven now, and we are sad, but she is free.

Hi to all the fellow travellers on this bastard of a trip. After 18 months of painful operations and more painful Chemotherapy, I had a C.T. scan 2 weeks ago along with blood tests. The results show no tumours or lesions in my body. I am feeling so much stronger since my last round of Chemo in December and am out walking at least 8 Klms. most mornings.
