The pity stares started today, everyone double taking at my birthday and the procedure I’m having. The other breast ca lady there just couldn’t get over my age.
I asked my breast nurse (McGrath one). She said I’m the youngest shes ever seen. She’s going to ask the McGrath portal for me to see if there’s anyone else in their 20’s to chat to.
Thursday is DDAY. Wish me luck!!! Thanks all of you and keep fighting XX
