Let's do our part for breast cancer

I'm fundraising to help make the lives of families experiencing breast cancer that little bit easier.

A breast cancer diagnosis can change your life in an instant and the impact can be felt right through your family and friends.

McGrath Breast Care Nurses bring you and your family peace of mind through expert knowledge, personal care and genuine compassion. They can help you create time in your life not defined by breast cancer.

Supporting me to raise funds for this great cause is easy and you can help place specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses, wherever they're needed.

Together, we can make a difference!

Thank you so much for your support.

My Updates

Just quickly l have to add that the staff ALL of them have been amazing. With all the hospitals l have been in, this outweighs them by far, so much kindness and duty of care. Today the breast care nurse gave me a bag of goodies which l haven’t seen BUT the Boobie pillow  is amazing, it’s like a travel pillow  but smaller , so it doesn’t hurt when you rollover. Oops l better finish this tomorrow l have dropped my phone 3 times ( on the bed) and I’m writing with one eye shut lol Goodnight peeps much love ???

The evening of

Hi all
Just thought l would update my story. Today l had my surgery, and for those  have just joined in, l had a double mastectomy and some cancerous  nodules removed from my right arm, its 10.30pm and although full of painkillers l feel amazing, much better than l ever anticipated. Knowing the cancer has been cut from my body, although l have no  boobies, the relief  I’m now feeling l can’t  explain, and l truly hope this feeling stays with me. I’m sure I’ll have gloomy days but at present l love where I’m At, definitely not what l expected. Well tomorrow is a new day and l hope all this makes sense and it’s not the anaesthetic. Well  I’m hoping l can get a reasonable good nights sleep, more updates to come. Together we’ll make a difference and kick cancers arse. Love you all xox 

The night before 23/9/21

Well the day is almost here , one more sleep. I’ll be forever changed, mentally, emotionally, and physically. This wasn’t something l planned, but is out of my control. This time is so different, l know l know “ I’m strong and l can do it, “BUT” in all seriousness I’m not mentally recovered from the last time, so this is scaring the absolute crap out of me, l don’t even want to do this and if it wasn’t for my 3 children my time would be up because I’m done, I’m done fighting this disease that seems to want to consume me. Just when l think I’m a survivor BANG it’s got me again. Ok l Hear you all saying you got this  do l ? At what cost, at what torture do l have to put my body through again and again. For the people that have been messaging or texting me everyday or every other day to see how I’m feeling to see how I’m coping because this waiting has been torture, because chemo sucks, l truly appreciate it more than you’ll ever know. Well I’m tired my body is tired and my head is in lala land, l can’t think, trying to think of what my life will be like after tomorrow is just too hard - I’m really not that strong person, I’ve just perfected how to wear a  mask. Luv yas xoxo  

2 more sleeps

Feeling very overwhelmed, nervous and flipping scared ???

Date for surgery

Today l found out my surgery had been bought forward from 11th October until the 24th September, although I’ll pleased that it’s getting done sooner, it’s the day before Grand final day, so I’m not going to be in the best shape or form to watch it. I’m starting to get edgy and snappy, and needless to say quite nervous ?. I’ve done my pre admission however l have to see a physio at the hospital on Tuesday and go and have pre surgery bloods on Thursday. Well  this is my last update until after surgery. But l would like to say how overwhelmed and how loved l feel with all the donations and mask orders, thank you from the bottom of my heart?????

PET Scan results, visit to surgeon 13/9/21

Hi all
Yesterday l seen my surgeon and was given the results that l had been anxiously waiting for. YAY my cancer is only where originally told Left breast the original spot l had it many years ago and a few Lymph nodes under my right arm, a huge sigh of relief knowing it hasn’t spread any further. We discussed my surgery with my son David there also, l am booked in for 11th October but should be done Much sooner ( fingers crossed) l will have a double mastectomy as l already knew and a bit later down the track he will reconstruct them. He has started me on hormone blockers which l didn’t know it’s actually oral chemo, this frightens me a lot but you do what you have to do. Chemotherapy and radiation isn’t off the list yet, however he will wait until they do biopsy’s of the breast tissue taken at the time of surgery. So until surgery I’ll close off here. I cannot express my overwhelming gratitude to all of you that have donated or ordered mask, thank you so very much ??

Two more days 11/09/2021

Well in two more days l find out if my cancer has spread and what stage I’m at, l am beginning to get very nervous and quite scared. The very thought of fighting this again l begin to question my strength. I pray to God for the sake of my 3 beautiful children and my grandchildren, family and friends, that their love and support  will give me the strength to do this again. I will let you all know on Monday my fate Much love to you all ???? I’ll NEVER. give up, that l promise you xox 

Fun Run 2015

It doesn’t take much to make a difference , l have many more photo’s unfortunately my photo’s are in Victoria and I’m in Qld. There was no internet back in the day when l was 1st diagnosed or mobile phones. ??? Let’s Do This

My Journey

Unfortunately l was diagnosed yet again with BC 30/8/21. l was first diagnosed and treated 31 years ago aged just 30, l had no family history of BC. I had 3 children in primary school which inspired me not to really think about it or to dwell on it. I survived this beating the odds at that time. But now 31 years later it has struck me again. I haven’t had surgery yet as I’ve only just been diagnosed. However l know this time I’m having a double mastectomy, probably something that should of been offered the last time, but we won’t dwell  on the what if’s . I don’t want to ever  put my children my family through this again, it’s just too painful, seeing and hearing the hurt and pain that my children are experiencing is worse than me having this awful disease. I did fundraising for Peter Mac and BC research for many years, then l just supported others fundraising. I was struck with lung cancer 6 years ago and again l have beaten it and the statistics. You realise you are not a number  and you don’t have to be a statistic, you just fight it and soldier on. I will go into this journey with the same attitude. The one thing l have learnt is you have to stay positive you have to stay on top of it ( yes sometimes this can be hard) if you let it get ontop of you, it will consume you and you’ll struggle everyday. This is my view my story. So please donate and support my fundraising even if it’s $1. Let’s do this together we can beat this. Thank  You much love
