Hi I'm Michelle... 21st August 2015 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had gone to th Drs with a smal lump in my breast, from there I was referred for a scan and mammogram The lump was a fybrosis lump and the mammogram showed nothing, but the scan showed something in my lymphnodes. It came back and yes it was cancer. From there I had an MRI scan and that showed an area of 5cm diameter and that to was cancerous stage 2, it formed as a mass and not a lump hence why I couldn't feel it. I was lucky and caught it earlier enough to be treated.Yes I did the full works, chemotherapy, Mastectomy, Radiotherapy, and mastopexy to my other breast.
Don't know really why I haven't been on here before, though I made friends with other women who have been through and still going through treatment for breast cancer.
I decided during my chemotherapy to give back to Hospital where I was treated. I got together other breast cancer survivors and began a calendar called Gracefully Uncovered. It personally helped me through each stage of my treatments, mentally and physically. We laughed, cried and compared scars, and a frienship formed.
I was taken out of my comfort zone after being diagnosed, but I grew stronger in my self believe that we are all still beautiful inside and out.
