Who, me?
I've been having lumps checked since my early 40s - now I'm 64 and suddenly the 'call back' didn't end with a needle biopsy or aspiration, but with 'you've got cancer' (that's the only bit I heard). ...
Hi Linda
"Been there, done that !". Yep, our stories are similar but my shock and mastectomy occurred last August. I was also 64 and it was my 8th mammogram that got me that dreaded phone call.
Have you got the BCNA 'My Journey Kit' ? Phone BCNA office and ask for one to be sent to you as that is invaluable in the early days of all this.
You sound as if you may live in a rural area so will be short on the assistance and support of city folk so use this site as much and as often as you like. (I am in rural Victoria). Use this site to vent or gain info, there are amazing ladies on here who will be able to help you along the way.
Please feel free to personal message me if you need a friend.
Hoping you have this wonderful Spring weather to cheer you.
Big cyber hugs
Summer :-)
