I just retired and I had a retirement trip planned which has now been cancelled because of covid. During the March/April 2020 lockdown I was diagnosed with BC. My cancer was 2cm in the right breast. No lymph but grade 3. I have had 5 melanoma too and heaps of abnormal moles removed. There is a link with melanoma and breast cancer. In July 2023 an mri found bone mets in my thoracic spine. Since then I have confirmed liver mets too and currently getting mri to check new bone mets. I am currently being treated for this metastasis with oral chemo WHEN I GET MY WINGS AND PASS ON, I WANT BCNA TO PLACE A SPECIAL MOTIF OR SYMBOL ON MY PROFILE SO MEMBERS KNOW I HAVE PASSED. MY FAMILY WILL CONTACT BCNA TO ADVISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
