In june 2013 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy me and my hubby were over the moon. Not long after I discovered a lump in my right breast , out of fear ,the unknown or pure ignorance I decided because of its timing it must be due to pregnancy and hormones! It grew to a considerable size so I decided time to see the doctor who assured me it was a breast mouse , she referred me for tests were again I was told it had to benign due to my age. On 19th dec are worse nightmare happend, it was breast cancer. It was confined to the breast fortuately. But with alfees 1st Xmas ahead of us we enjoyed every min knowing been miserable would change nothing. The ball got rolling in the new year. I had a metal marker inserted in the lump so they could keep an eye if shrunk completely I had ct scan and a heart scan to check ok to go on heceptin. Knowing there would be no more children was tough. But I had my 1st chemo 1of 6 and it shrunk the lump from 3.9cm to 1.5 cm , it hasn't spread and I have just had 2nd chemo. I did have a week in hep due to temp and low cells but all good with a very positive head on and lots of support! I do have bad days but were all human, I look at my boy and pray I'll see him grow up and I will !
