How I found my cancer by accident
Hi, my name is Myra and I'm 43 years old. I have a strong family history of breast cancer, so have been diligent in breast screening since I was in my mid 30's, however all the knowledge and screening I had didn't prepare me for actually getting cancer.

Hi Ladies, My name is Wendy and I am just recently diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. So this is all very new to me. I seem to be handling the news well, which is surprising everyone around me. I am in preparation mode and like 'lets get on with what needs to be done'. Maybe I will fall into a heap later on. I spoke…

1st time here
First experience with breast cancer - one of the few that don't run in our family! But not my first experience with cancer. I had a brain tumour removed in 2002. That was at least benign - but it didn't mean it got forgotten about either. Got to the 10 year mark and MRI showed possible recurrence. Now looking like it was…
