I am 77 years old last may I had a small cancerous lump removed from my left breast having had a pre cancerous lump taken out 9 years ago both times followed by a course of radiotherapy .In the midst of this time July I lost my husband to meastsis of prostate cancer whjch he had had for 10 years with no problems. Then in november I had a small cancer removed from my face followed by more plastic surgery 4 weeks ago. I am very positive most of the time and rtealise how luck I have been in having had early diagnosis each time.
