Hi Heidi, The gynae cancer group is a good group to discuss things, Katherine works for Cancer Council, so would be a good person to talk with, we are a friendly group. Will send a message to Katherine, with your user name, so that she can perhaps make contact with you. I was in my mid 30's when diagnosed with cancer... 11 yrs on, I can vividly remember the emotions. It must be doubly difficult to cope with, given you are also pregnant. Try to stay positive (difficult to do in the early days, I know!). Wishing you all the luck in the world for a successful treatment plan. Sam ... View more

I live in Adelaide. I've been going to an amazing Hospital called St Andrews. I found when I had my breast surgery all the nurses were just Amazing, so I decided to do my treatments around there and got recommended to my oncologist Trevor Malden. Highly recommended and I was told at my last chemo session he is one of the best in South Aust. Where about's do you live Joy. And how has the radiotherapy been. I think in your first post you had just started. Also Did you have to have oral Chemo at all. I have 4 IV chemo and then a further 3 lots oral chemo which I think a week of tablets then 2 weeks off then start again. It just seems never ending. I'm hoping that lot will be a lower dose that wont make me sick. after chemo I start radiotherapy for 5-6 weeks. I have a holiday book at the start of October this year with my family which was booked before the nightmare started. I'm hoping all my treatments will be finished by then. then I can have a much needed relaxing time. Today is day 7 after 2nd chemo and I'm happy to say I'm starting to feel better Yay. I just wish it wouldn't take so long to feel better each time. I have 2 little girls 4 and 1 and my husband has been great. Although very stressed having to work full time and then come home to being a full time daddy to 2 hypo children. Lucky for him he has a lot of support at his job and they have been very flexible with him. He also has a few people to talk to that are going through the same. :) Vanessa ... View more
