Hi, I'm Barbara. I started my BC journey on 7th May. I had a lumpectomy for the removal of 44mm lump with 5 satellites on 4th June and then a further anxcillery clearance on 16th June. 9 of 15 lymph nodes were cancerous. Have started the chemo journey and I will finish off December or January with Radiation therapy. I had a clear mammogram in March 2019. By May 2020 I had a fast growing cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes. I am reasonably healthy and being over 50 do all the right health checks. There is no BC in my family. I never saw this coming, but yet here I am. My prognosis is good as my pet scan has shown no further cancer. I am lucky and appreciate my life all the more. But I do have issues around talking about BC so this is why I am reaching out to you beautiful people who understand how difficult, lonely and devastating this disease is, made worse by Covid. Anyway best wishes to everyone 💕
