It is lovely to meet woman of all ages as I have since being diagnosed or over the years who have had breast cancer years ago and are still going strong with no recurrence. My cousin told me she had had a tumour removed from her breast 23 years ago, She is 76 now. She hadnt mentioned before I told her I had one.

Have a great week
