Second type of cancer this time!

I attended my first appointment for a mammagram it went well. Then got a letter for a second scan and a biopsy, they have found three lumps. A few days later I went the hospital for my results. I was shocked to find it was cancer and a further M.R.I scan is needed. Unfortunately I have to wait for certain dates that revolve around my menstrual cycle. My appointment is for the 30th March and the results and talks on my treatment is for the day after. I am really worried and have had sleepless nights, I have two daughters and two sons who said they will support me but I am usually very independent and look after them. 

  • I think it's always a shock to hear this sort of thing.   The waiting is the worst bit I found.  I just wanted it over with, but we just have to wait sometimes.

    I am also very independant and the one who looks after everyone else.  When I had my kidney removed just before christmas, my children were wonderful  I think it gave all 3 of us a different understanding of each other and we seem to have a more adult, equal relationship now.  I am recovered from the op and stuff now and I am back to being the looker after, but I feel much closer to them now.
