Shock but believe I will be okay
Hi Sisters
I was diagnosed Friday 13 Jan. I am fit and healthy, 49 yrs (50 in a couple of weeks) run a full Gold Coast marathon 42.2 km in July 2016 with the lump in my armpit (in lymph node). Dr said lump was due to shaving and examined my breasts before and after marathon. Finally got around to mammogram before Christmas but felt so sure about lump due to shaving. So far nothing has showed up in neither breasts through mammogram nor ultrasound (but am waiting on MRI results), did bonescan and CT scan last week. It is so surreal and there is no family history whatsover and I eat well, exercise regularly so it has come as a complete shock. I feel I will be fine just need to fix it. Next time I read another article saying that exercise, maintaining healthy weight, and eating healthy prevents cancer I will laugh (or maybe not). Later today I am supposedly getting a treatment plan, surgery this week or next who knows? Don't even know type of cancer yet.
