My husband died from pancreatic cancer in July. Last week I was recalled for a breast cancer screen which showed a lump. I had a biopsy and will get the complete results on the 11th, but it looks likely the lump they found was a cancerous lymph node. My mother had breast cancer diagnosed at 57 and died before she was 60 from secondary cancer. She too had it in her lymph nodes. I am 57 this month. I have two daughters, 16 and 18 who still live at home and who obviously lost their father two months ago. Our little cat died on Wednesday very suddenly, the same day I had my biopsy.
To say I am overwhelmed at the moment might describe it well...
