Hi June and Sister,
Thanks for your messages, yes June I feel very fortunate to have got my lump checked again. I had the lump checked a while back and had an ultrasound on it, at the time they told me it was just a cyst....harmless. Fast forward a couple of years and while it didn't feel any different, it was still there. While I was at the docs for something else, I asked him to check it again, "just to be sure". Another ultrasound and this time bad news. In a sense I feel extremely lucky as I could easily be walking around right now blissfully unware, and I feel I may have just got it in time.
I am studying to teach in secondary schools and am about 3/4 of the way through a Masters of Teaching. Its taken a bit of a back seat this year though as I went through treatment.
Thanks again for your messages, its really nice to see people who have been through what I have (so far) and are living healthy lives again. To be honest, when I was first diagnosed I thought I was cooked :(
Cheers
Danny
