Blinkers! So true @Sandyr.

Dear @kmakm, Fantastic news for your friends, and job well done for you. As all the posts show ( @sandyr ), our bc's are found in many different ways from different symptoms and signs. So important to communicate and be aware - I  think  I need to get a wriggle on talk to people. Love the lemons.

I remember lying on the table just before my first mastectomy and one of the nurses said to me “but you’re only 43” I said I know and I told her I’d been having mammograms since I was 40 as I had lumpy boobs. There was 3 or 4 nurses in theatre around the same age and all of them came and saw me the following morning to see how I was and they all told me at the end of their shift they all booked in for a mammogram. So if my experience saves just one life or gets one woman to be more vigilant and aware of their boobs then that’s a great thing. Bc doesn’t discriminate thsts for sure and @kmakm I’m so relieved for your friend. What great news. Margie xxx

That's a great story to hear @onemargie. Lovely that they came to see and tell you. 1 in 8, 1 in 8.

Whilst the mammogram didn't reveal my cancer. ..there was a line up of women I worked with at breastscreen the next month. Many have followed my fb journey and all have learned a lot about treatment and side effects...and realise it's. ..not all pink and cute and like getting over a cold.
