A Brief Detour Through Breast Cancer

This short Australian story is a positive and non-threatening read for anyone facing a diagnosis of early breast cancer, their friends and family members, or the just plain curious. The author talks openly and honestly about her own experience, from the shock of diagnosis to each stage of treatment and beyond, with the inevitable challenges along the way. It covers important topics like the cost of treatment, hair loss and regrowth (with photos) and living with post-treatment changes to body and mind.
