My story
Hi Everyone
Well this is all very new to me, the blog thing I mean not just the breast cancer.
I guess sometimes I feel that I want to ramble on and I don't want to impose on my family or friends...

Hi Shazinoz
"Crikey" as they say. Your waiting game, must have been horrible, can't believe how long you had to wait for everything.
With me, I found the lump in my underarm on a Saturday had tests on the Wed/Thursday, diagnosed on Friday, saw the surgeon on Monday, had CT and Bone scan on Tuesday and was in surgery the Wednesday and results that Friday. So in basically a week I had all done. I start chemo next Friday. I also need to have radiation after that and then Hormone treatment for 5 years. Also my oncologist talked to me about having my ovaries removed later. I thought, "what the heck" dont need them anymore, I have two beautiful boys aged 11 and 12. My health is more important.
After all the "waiting", at least now you are on the road to having treatment.
I am 47 years old, and me to can't believe how young some members are. Really isn't fair. While I was in hospital, two doors from my ward there was actually a male with BC. Gosh, I felt for him. I suppose males think this doesn't happen to them, it only happens to females. As they dont have "breasts" as we call it, they cant get BC. Wrong!!
I try not to think about it to, but at times it just "creeps" into my head. A little upset now and then , but then I just try to get on with it.
anyway take care and keep in touch
