In January my lovely mum passed away sadly my dad couldn't see her whilst she was in hospital due to him being in a rehab ward so her passing was very hard they had been married 61 years. In February I had my breast screening app and 2 weeks ago got a call asking me to go in for further checks. I saw the consultant had a scan, biopsy and Thursday had the confirmation I have breast cancer I'm 55. I'm booked in for surgery on 21st and will have to wait 3 weeks after for result of lymph biopsy then find out if I need radiotherapy or chemo. My partner is on the 2week wait colorectal pathway and as you can imagine we are feeling like someone is trampling all over us. I'm not angry, or emotional although I'm sure that will change whilst waiting for the results. 2021 so far has been horrendous for us but the only way is to remain positive and draw strength from family and friends.
