Drawing a big fat line in the sand!

Well I couldn't say no - I think it was meant I was to step in and wave a big stick - I haven't seen this kid…

Hi there my name is Penny and in May last year I was chopping wood and after I felt a lump in my armpit it hurt. When I went to the doctor she did a breast exam and suggested I wait a month and see if it went away. 2 weeks later a lump appeared a bit like mastitis. The day after my 44th birthday I went to have my first…
