Not coping already
My Mum had breast cancer at 59 - still well at 82. I was on yearly visits to specialist and yearly mammograms till 3 years ago. Had a bad experience with mammogram and haven't been back for 3 years...

Hi Helen
you are not a fraud at all. We have all been where you are and all of us know the strain of waiting for results. There's no point beating yourself up over not having the regular mammograms. What's done is done. Hopefully everything will be fine and it will just be a reminder to you to be proactive with your health. If it is a diagnosis of bc, then you will deal with it and do what you have to. The thing is that none of us have a choice but to deal with it. Some days we do that better than others. Take one day at a time and one appointment at a time. Get as much info as you can and ask lots of questions so that you have a better understanding of what you will be up against. And remember that there is good survival rates now and your mum is a very good example of that. I shall keep my fingers crossed for you that all is well. Good luck. Karen xox
