I'm a clutz, I always have been. But this time it saved my life. Last year when hearing about my husbands day I was fiddling with my mac laptop in my hands and turning on it's side and back again. Not really watching what I was doing, when it became too top heavy and smacked into my left breast. The pain I felt from the knock was out of this world and a lump formed straight away. I turned to google after a few days when the lump had not gone down. Don't google, is my lesson I learned. I waited about 2 weeks to go to the dr. I was told it can take months to heal and to come back in a few if the lump hadn't gone away. It didn't, it got big and more painful as the months went by. When I finally went to the dr as I couldn't take the pain anymore, I was sent away for tests. I NEVER thought breast cancer. I'm 33. It was a a knock to the breast. So when I finally got the results back and dr said it was aggressive stage 2 breast cancer. I thought he was making a horrible joke, but he was serious. He said the laptop must have just hit it on the sweet spot, I felt my vision dim and breathing became very hard for me. I needed to get out of there. I left my husband sitting in the drs office and went and called my mum who had only just lost my stepdad to lung cancer. With the help of my husband, kids, family and friends I started on the fight for my life. The cancer is not winning, I am. the chemo has been working and it had gone down fro 8cm by 5cm to almost nothing now. I will be having a double mastectomy after my treatments are finished. I am scared but I have an amazing support team behind me cheering me on.
