Hi, my name is Emma. I have been wanting to post on here for a while, but just didn't know what to say, but desperately wanting some support. I am 24 years old, and found a lump a few months ago. My doctor sent me home to wait 6 weeks to see if it went away as they didn't believe it would be cancer. It didn't go away, so I…

Once more into the breach...
Hi, In September I found what I thought was a blocked duct in my breast and my GP referred me onto to have a mammogram and ultrasound. They found a mass so organised a core biopsy for the next day. The sample taken showed it was early stage invasive with P+ but there was not enough sample to tell if it was E+ or…

On the Roller Coaster
Hi. So there I was chilling out sipping cocktails in a sarong on the island of Maui, Hawaii (a little holiday before starting a great gig on the US mainland) when I felt a lump. It was just 2 years since my mammogram, and here was a really big lump. It had to be a cyst I thought. It hurt, and cancer wasn't supposed to hurt…
