aHello everyone. 
Don’t really know where to start, but here goes... I went for a routine mammogram just after Christmas & received a letter asking me to attend the clinic the following week. My appointment was on my 70th birthday.  A friend was going to take me out for lunch as I was expecting it to be a big mistake and nothing would be wrong but I was told I has breast cancer. I was so stunned I couldn’t think... I just drove home, cancelled my lunch out and just sat alone and cried!  My husband died 5 years ago from dementia... I had been his carer for 20years and had lost all but two of my friends. One lives a long way away and the other is married with a demanding family so I don’t see them very often and don’t like to tell them how utterly lonely and useless I feel. I’ve had my breast op and am just about to start radiotherapy this week. I should feel pleased that it was caught so early and has been dealt with so quickly but I just feel so alone.
