Writing For My Benefit And Yours :)
I am writing this breast cancer journey for the benefit of anyone who reads this along with myself. It is a way for me to cope with whats going on as things happen and it is also a way for me to let people see what it is like going through breast cancer. I decided it would be better to write as I actually go through things now rather then later and have to think back to what it was like back then. I have learned so much In the last couple of months and I want to share what I have learnt with others. I want people to be aware of what happens unlike me I didn't know anything. Breast cancer was the last thing I would have expected to happen I always thought it was most common in people over 50 and I thought to myself thats why the mammogram at age 50+. How wrong was I? I knew it was cancer when I found the lump even at the age of 38 and even before the specialist diagnosed me. So don't be like me and think your to young to get breast cancer because that is so not the case. Check yourself often and If you do find a lump or are unsure please go to the doctors straight away it could save your life.

Catherine's new look :)

ReplyDeleteBest of luck I'm here if you need me xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks - good to know that. "It's probably hormonal" is what I'm hearing all the time - hopefully that is the case. Congrats on your blog by the way, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I know how you feel. Everyone was telling me "not all lumps are cancerous" I also know it doesn't stop you feeling sick with worry. I hope in your case that it is hormonal and hope all turns out good for you. I couldn't think straight, eat, sleep, stop crying all the time with worry so I really do understand what your going through right now. Thank you for reading and commenting on the blog it was my way of dealing with cancer and thought I'd maybe be able to help people while I go through it. I don't pretend to know everything I just know what I have gone through so far Chemo starts next wednesday another new learning experience for me which I am terrified of.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the chemo, you seem to be made of strong stuff so you will be fine. I will be dipping in and out of here from now on.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your results. xxx I'll be thinking of you. Remember I'm here If there is anything I can be of help with or you just want to say hi. Please let me know how you get on with your results. Thank you very much for keeping in touch.
