Hi everyone, 

Been diagnose with grade 1 BC. It’s worrying and had sleepless nights after being diagnosed in November after second mammogram that I got .7mm grade 1 BC. No matter how old you are it really affect to individual. We are bombarded with lots of question= how to deal with it? What is my kid’s  future when I’m gone?  How long I gonna live? Can I survive the treatment when I have underlying health issues? etc, etc.  I am 60 and recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and constant high blood pressure. 

Done the lumpectomy on 16 December 2020 and waiting for the schedule for radiotherapy. I was told with my breast doctor that after the breast operation we will wait for the biopsy. If anything left after the operation I will undergo a second breast operation. Then followed by radiotherapy for a week and medication up to 5 years. 

For now, I never tell any of our friends what’s going on. I want to keep it secret for now that I am undergoing treatment. Because to me telling them doesn’t help. I don’t want them talking about me dying. 

I only have the guts to join the chat and tell you about my health condition and hopefully we can share how we deal with our illnesses. I am a Christian and I believe God will never abandon us in times we needed Him most.

Best wishes.
