From under my hat

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Thursday January 15 2009. This is my journey with cancer and other musings as surveyed - initially temporarily hairless - from under my hats.

About Me

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on January 15 2009. No primary tumour but two cancerous lymph nodes. No surgery. Four chemo treatments, five weeks of radiation, 17 treatments of herceptin and then on tamoxifen for five years - which led the gynaecologist to mistakenly believe I could have endometrial cancer and so I had a hysterectomy on March 18 2013. I am enjoying living in South Africa.
