at the age of 40 i was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2 november 2009, after having a lumpectomy & total lymph clearance in december 2009 i got my results 2 days before xmas, they were not good, it had already spread too far in my breast which left me facing a mastectomy.
after weeks of an emotional rollercoaster knowing what i faced with the physical changes about to happen to me i had the operation 16th february 2010, 2 days before my 41st birthday.
i have my results in 3 days time which i pray will be good.
as soon as my wounds start to heal i will start my 6 months of chemotherapy.
i have 2 beautiful daughters aged 16 & 11 who have been my reason for my determination to beat this disease.
one day at a time at the moment, still uncomfortable with pain but i will get there.
i wish you all good luck
