Hi my name is Jenny and this is my beautiful granddaughter Evelyn. I am currently 54 years old (19.11.1964) and have 2 adult children, Jason and Jessica. I currently live in Hervey Bay Queensland with my very supportive husband of 4 years marriage. I was diagnosed with BC 22/3/18 (Invasive lobular HER2 negative ER/PR positive x 3 in left side). Inoperable and metastatic (spine skull ribs and pelvis) upon diagnosis. I have so far had no chemo or radiation or operation, and the Kisqali along with hormone treatment is holding it back. I am no longer working thanks to my income protection and love to get out and about Caravanning, Boating, fishing and meeting new people. Family is everything to me and i love spending time with them every chance I get. I love positive quotes and taking photos of our amazing surrounds and experiences. I now have a real appreciation for time and the simple things in life. I will face this disease head on, but i will not let it define who I am. My ambition is to get out and do as much as I can, while I am physically able, and enjoy every minute. Sending out love & strength to you today.
What can friends do to help?
If you want to help, ask what would be helpful. Practical tasks – shopping, ironing, mowing the lawn, making a meal, walking the dog, hanging the washing – are often the ones that take the effort, energy or time that someone who is having treatment doesn’t have.
