Hello All

I'm so glad to have found you all, although I seem to sit back, read many posts and take it all in, this site has been a godsend.

When I was diagnosed Jan 2005 I had been working as an Assistant Manager of a Bank 40-45 hours per week, in a way I feel my body was telling me to slow down. I had worked in the banking industry for over 30 years. Taking a year off work 3 operations, 4 A/C & 4 Taxol, has left me with mild lympaedema and neuropathy in fingers and toes. I'm currently on a gradual return to work program and negotiating with my Health Insurance for late Herceptin, (my chemo finished July 05), in Australia we have to pay for Herceptin for Early BC.

With positive support from my family; married 25 years, son 19 old and myself being the eldest of 10, 3 brothers and six sisters and friends have kept me going on this journey.

Best wishes to all
Love
Helen
