Hi Mich.
Thanks so much for your warm and prompt response. It is a year since my diagnosis. I have felt uncomfortable sharing my story when I've been so fortunate and had a good outcome whilst so many people are less fortunate. I guess once my sister had her diagnosis I felt it was inevitable for it to happen to me. I had persistent pain in my left breast for years which turned out to be the lump that was initially removed and which I was told was benign. Two months after that surgery the pain returned - and they say that cancer doesn't hurt!
It helps to share my feelings - I still struggle with the reality that my life is different but I do know that I am very lucky.
What happened to you and how are you doing now?
Kind regards
