Long term survivors

Just thought I’d share this one. Met a lady in her 70s at a local bc support group. 20 years ago on a van trip around Australia she discovered a lump in her breastin Mackay. Her husband and daughter shared the same birthday and the daughter’s was her 21st.Mum and Dad had promised to return for 21st wherever they were so this lady packed her husband back to Adelaide on a plane and then checked herself into hospital for a mastectomy.At the time the hospital shut at weekends so after a few days she had to return to the caravan park - alone but with helpful caravanners who organised basic foodstuffs for her to await her husband’s return. She’s only a tiny little lady and still fit as a fiddle. She is the reason I started walking as every day rain/shine she gets up at 6am for a one hour walk - it’s hilly too. Yvonne is one of the remarkable people I have met since my bc diagnoses although she doesn’t see herself as such.
