I’m Michael I have not long had surgery to remove cancer from left breast and under arm, it all hap so quick one minute in doctors surgery being checked next having biopsy done next in hospital overnight to remove cancer, didn’t even have chance to think, now having radiotherapy half way through consult says can’t have chemotherapy as I wouldn’t survive it as had strokes in past, and also have copd, still trying to get my head around all this heat all horror stories about people waiting so long for treatment and I’m done within weeks, radiotherapy not to bad but tiring have to wait and see what medication they are putting me on next, bit of a lonely journey all this but will wait and see.
