Hi there. I am a 45 yr old married mum of 4 who lives in a country town where everybody knows everybody. I had a 4cm tumor and 9 cancerous lymph nodes so full mastectomy to affected side and all lymp...
Thanks Leanne for takjng the time to help me thru this. Our lives are sk similar and it is great to hear you have had similar experiences to me. I especially liked the talking tk your boobs bit. My boobs are not particularly impressive so they have never received so much attention. Im sure when people are asking how i am to my boobs they r trying to work out which one is gone. I know country people are the best when it comes to helping those in need. Just hard being so damn independant and not wanting to upset anyone. A lady i know who works at the checkout asked me how i was, which i loved as its good to know if someone does actually know, but she ended up fighting back tears and i hate upsetting anyone as i know i will be fine. It is amazing knowing you have made a difference. I didnt realise how common BC is these days and am so glad
a
couple of my friends who were terrified of mammograms have now had their first ones done. I went to basketball last night and stayed for one game. I sat in the car and was so proud of myself. I figure if my kids are great with me then thats all that matters. Next week I'll be a bit braver and sit on the bench. Thanks again and look after yourself x
