At the age of 44, I went through my first round of breast cancer in 2011. I was diagnosed then exactly the same as now - Grade 2, 23mm lobular breast cancer. Funny that, isn't it. I…

I had breast cancer in 2016 and these two years entering menopause and the symptoms are awful. The worst are not the hot flushes or night…

I'm still waiting for the results from the biopsy on my right breast. I have an appointment with the breast surgeon tomorrow (Monday). I'm worried that the…
