Hi Cosette
I was diagnosed on 7 April with a invasive grade 3 triple receptor factor cancer, the tumour was removed on 21 April, the good aspect was it wasn't in my nymph nodes, was told today that I will have to start chemo followed by radiation. Each step has bought me anxiety, anger, frustration and disbelief. I often ask what have I done to trigger this? What did I do wrong? Did I go over board with jogging? The whole exercise regime? 11 months prior a mammogram ultrasound, 4 months after that a follow up with the GP for another breast check and I was given the all clear, fast forward to 2 April 2016 on my 51st birthday - surprise you have a lump - a 1.5cm which turns out to actually 3cm lump. Of course I will face this next challenge but I won't lie I'm scared, it's going to be tough, I've got a wonderful supportive husband, two grown up children and a fantastic mother. My two beautiful border collies who I will have to make sure we keep up our walks and will keep me sane. Sophie
