Last weekend I travelled to Toronto, to attend Toronto's Breast Film Festival. Rethink was generous enough to provide bursaries for a handful of survivors to fly down and attend. Meeting these ladies, another pleasure...

I wish I be there showing supports, but I need to work daily. Yes, Toronto is possibly the best place in Canada, as far as the health care system is concerned. Happy that you enjoyed the trip. :)

Breast Cancer Smancer - I HEART LIFE After two months of waiting I finally have an appointment just to SEE a plastic surgeon!!!!!! The appointment's not for two more months but an appointment nonetheless! If you're looking for a high paying, high demand job... plastic surgery is the way to go. Apparently it sometimes takes up to 3 years to get in for surg...ery. Breast cancer patients, depending on urgency (mine not being as urgent anymore) get bumped up.

i went to see one last year and he told me i should wait for a couple years as i would suffer with unbearable pain (i have firbomyalgia and arthritis) so its a waiting game still.. blahh. i hate surgery, but this is one operation that im looking forward to when the times comes!

i hope the tamox doesny give u too much grief - i know some ppl hate it but for others it doesnt make much difference. for me it gives me intense hot flashes and a bit more bone pain but the alternative to not taking it keeps me on it. good luck and yes hurray no more active treatments, good riddance and here's to moving forward!!

So my arm hasn't gone down in it's swelling, so two days ago I went and got it "wrapped." Putting many layers on the effected arm, causes the swelling to go down enough to have my arm fitted for a custom arm thing (the name has slipped my mind!)...
