  Hi Sandy. I will provide a "proper" response when I have more time.
  Some information is available in the previous entry titled "How do I tell my boyfriend I have cancer". There is also some helpful information from the Cancer Council ph: 131120 or visit the website. Cancer Australia website also helpful.
  
  If family relationships are becoming strained or stressed due to cancer diagnosis and/or treatments, I strongly recommend contacting a local counsellor or psychologist to discuss with. Family members are usually able to access these services too, and they are available for little to no cost. Please contact your local GP, Breast Care Nurse, Cancer Council or other support services in your area to obtain details. xx
