health Last February, I went for a routine mammogram that changed my world – and then my body beyond all recognition. What followed was a whirlwind of 12 biopsies, a breast cancer diagnosis , consultations, surgeons and an overwhelming mountain of information. I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer, which had already spread to my lymph nodes. A six-month course of chemotherapy — 16 cycles — was to begin as soon as Gold Coast Hospital (which is amazing) could book me in. I shaved my head before I started chemo because, in the intense dust-storm that my diagnosis kicked up, it felt like one way I could take back a tiny little speck of control.
