I am a nearly 73 year old gran of four and mother of three and have had breast cancer for 16 years. Found a. Cancer through a routine mammogram retired about 2 months later, 

had treatment a lumpectomy and radiotherapy and Chemo. Only had one session. Couldn’t take it but all my hair fell out, I think I had the extra strong dose. 
After all these years I am finally coming to terms with it and it is not my complete focus everyday. I have secondary cancer in my back. 
But I am very lucky to still be here and enjoying life albeit not like I used to. But I enjoy painting sketching playing the piano and making quilts. My husband is a blooming marvel does everything but I have to be careful not to let him as it makes me lazy. He doesn’t understand you can kill with kindness bless him.
