About PudPud2018

I'm Benn, 32yrs old live in the Greater Manchester area. Don't want to upset or offend anybody by being here within this community as, as far as I know I don't have cancer. But over the weekend just gone, my father phoned me to tell me "I'm dying son, got breast cancer and it's spread....." He's been given weeks to possibly months to live. It wasn't a phone call I was ever expecting to receive. The other thing is a few years back my mum had breast cancer and had a full mastectomy of one breast. I've booked myself a doctors appointment to see if I need to go for any tests or are my chances increased with both parents having the same type/form of cancer. Probably sounds odd but that phone call just set away countless questions in my own head about my dad, my mum and also my own health.
