Thank you Hollye for allowing me to share my story——-Sue Walking down the dim hallway, I have a light bulb moment; “I don’t need any more answers, I no longer need to research about my breast cancer.” At that moment in time my roller coaster of feelings came to a close. Before that, I was… Continue reading Sue's Silver Linings

Gaynor's Silver Linings
I have just started my “journey” , not a term I’ve always got on with, but as a nurse placed a name tag on my bag to be taken to the ward and I was taken to theatre, I bizarrely felt I was embarking on some sort of holiday (vacation) and my journey did indeed… Continue reading Gaynor's Silver Linings
Adriane's Silver Linings
I always figured that I would fight cancer at some point in my life. I just didn’t fiure that I would be 43 years old when it happened! I tell people that I did all of the “right” things that the experts tell us to do. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I eat lots… Continue reading Adriane's Silver Linings
Wendy's Silver Linings
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2009 and decided to do chemo before surgery as a way to shrink the tumor in the hope of having a lumpectomy. I had one week to get things in order before chemo started and I was “nesting”–stocking up on toilet paper and other goods my husband… Continue reading Wendy's Silver Linings

Report on The Girls
As of today, I am three weeks out from my surgery. I saw my plastic surgeon today and he is thrilled with the results (Silver Lining)! There is still a fair amount of swelling and bruising and I am bound in my excessively unsexy surgical bra 24/7, but I’m giddy that my physical healing is… Continue reading Report on The Girls

Robbin's Silver Linings
I had gone to the doctor in September because I wasn’t feeling well, and while I was there said “I’m gonna get my money’s worth out of this visit” and I told the PA about this pain I had been having for about 4-5 months now in my muscle on my right arm, where I… Continue reading Robbin's Silver Linings
