Hi , well this is my very first post. I'm just browsing the site after going to my first meeting in Dubbo NSW by BCNA group. I actually live an hour and half away and took the day off to go. I'm glad I went, and it made me rethink what has happened to me over the last year. I had surgery and rads last yr about this time for Early stage BC , and couldn't wait to be rid of the medical stuff as fast as possible. So i've gone back to work and tried to forget everything, but since I am the 4th in my immediate family (mum and 2 sisters , 1 older 1 younger) to have BC and my 21 yr old recently had a scare and a breast lump checked, I have had to rethink a bit. The discussion at Dubbo made me do this. I am at higher risk, am pre-menopausal and am not on any drug. While these were my choices at a time of negativity, there has been no doctor or breastscreen van to remind me to go check again, I'm busy, I don't want to go there. Just check; but IT was on my chest bone last year; no idea it was there, can't feel , can I seriously just feel/check? am I worrying too much?? there's other people in need of /more serious than me; I'm fine
