Hi well I was handed a double blow, 2006- 2007 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer getting over that and side effects from chemo, 2008 I was told I had breast cancer you can guess how I felt never had any problems never felt any lumps,but having a shower one morning discovered that my left nipple had gone inward so a trip to the dr was made I had a biopsy which wasnt clear enough and had a section removed to be told breast cancer it so unfair.You can imagine I felt sick and terrified but I had no choice a booking was made for me to have my breast removed. thats was January 2009 then in Feb I had to go back in for lymp glands to be removed. I was told however a couple of weeks later I would have to have more chemo discussed it with my husband and family I realy didnt want to have it as I was still getting over the other lot I decided to have a go but found it too much so decided to pull the pin it was only a precaution I believe and at the moment all test are fine and I feel great and I pray to god I stay that way,I realy dont want any more. Changing diet,exercise and stay positive I think is the key, a wonderful husband and family support also is important for me
