thank you to all who have read and replied to my post. Mum rang the other night and talked for about an hour in regards to the next few weeks ahead. She had just had a visit from the Glen McGrath Breast Care Nurse and wanted to tell me everything she had learnt. And yes she says she did read the information sent to her. The only thing she was unsure of was the scan for the nodes which I filled her in on. I know that she will be fine as I said before she is very strong. The only thing we are not sure of is whether she will have to have any other treatment, as you all know it will depends on the results. I know the tablets that I am on are causing some minor effects mainly aches and pain in the joints and others things but I put up with it I never had to have chemo unlike many of you. So I have got of easy thanks to an early mommogram. One thing I have noticed since I was a diagnosed in 2011 several of my friends have since gone and had a mammogram, it was good that my diagnosis made others aware that they too could be carrying cancer cells, oh yeah all of them were clear.
