Hi everyone, I have breast cancer I found a lump 10 weeks ago and after numerous tests ,  I am scheduled for a mastectomy next week, I am 68 and have had good health apart from the normal ageing aches and pains. I actually only checked myself as I had been watching Lorraine on morning tv and they were advertising the Check and Change, I think it was. Called , there was a choir singing with Marty Pellow. Love is all around! He was travelling the country in a pink bus encouraging people to check themselves, so a few days later after my shower one morning I decided to check myself snd I couldn’t believe it when I found it! I couldn’t get an appointment for 8-9 weeks for a mammogram so I decided to go private I was seen in 2 days and diagnosed within 2 hours ! My results went to the NHS and I waited for an appointment for a biopsy then waited for results and then a CT Scan which was the worst wait to see if it was anywhere else. It was clear but my lump is stage 4 so I require a mastectomy. A daunting thought but it will save my life! Then the chemotherapy afterwards will begin, I know I am one of many  that will be going through this, I t would be nice to hear from you.
