Still in shock
Hi
My name is Trina, I'm 45 years old (I have a 7 year old son) and until last week though Breast Cancer was something that happened to 'other people'..
I found a lump last Sunday, went to the ...
Hi, I am 59 and found out I had breast cancer on 23rd March. At first I was in shock and in denial and then the flood gates opened and I couldn't stop crying. The next wave was being cross and angry. I had the appointment with my surgeon on 29th March and he is planning to do breast conserving surgery with sentinel node biopsy on 20th April followed with 5 weeks of radiotherapy. The waiting game eats you alive but I have found this website and 'My Journey' a great comfort to me. My friends and family have been very supportive. I find myself worrying about everyone else but I have to start to consider how I feel and how I am going to cope with each day at a time. My husband and I had been saving for two years to travel to Cape York on a 7 week caravan trip on 30th June this year and I am praying I will be fit enough to go. I feel that I should be grateful for having found the lump early and not worry about the holiday but it is my husband’s dream. I have a goal to achieve which I hope will keep me positive. It is nice being able to relate with others on here and I hope all goes well for you and we can keep each other posted J Chrissy
