Hi all
I'm 41 years old. I was holidaying in Majorca in June. I had found a large lump in my breast about 4 wks before my hols. I didn't worry to much about because I hadn't noticed it before and my breast was sore and you could hold the lump and move it. After googling it says if the lump isn't fixated and you have pain it doesn't sound like BC but always get it checked. During my holiday my breast was really painful so I thought I would get it checked when I got home. That's when the world wind started. I was referred to my local breast clinic and all in all it took 4 weeks and several tests and biopsies and appointments and I started my chemo. I have stage 3 triple neg breast cancer. I should finish my chemo in January then I'm due an operation the radio therapy.
I was very shocked and I suppose I still am. It made me take my health a little more seriously and not put things off. And would advise anyone to let the professionals decide if it's anything to worry about not you.
I thought it was a simple cyst that may need draining how wrong I was.
This time next year it will be a distant memory and I'm looking forward to that prospect
