I was diognoised with breast cancer in June 2012 .I was 61years of age it was my worst fear I felt a tiny lump told my GP who then sent me straight to hospital .I then had a mamagram and also a deep mamagram. I was then sent for ultrasound to my left breast and also my lympnodes. I then met with my consulltant who have me the diognoises the lump I had found was ok but having deep tests they found a mass.I then had an appointment for a operation which took place in July 2012 I remember the day very well I had a biopsy that morning and felt sick to the stomach of what I was about to face.October I then went back to see my consulltant again who said I would have to have RadioTherapy for 3weeks everyday week ends off.I had to go to another hospital to receive this treatment .Met with my oncologist started my treatment then had a bad reaction but carried on .I was glad when it was over because I was so tired but when I look back this was what shrunk my tumour .I receive Tomoxifan I will take this for another 3 years I was diognoised with stage 2 Cancer .Compared to some people I class myself as lucky that I did not need chemo .I have not received the all clear as yet .People tend to forget that this c word affects partners and family too. I was very lucky I had a brilliant consulltant and received real good care from all of them at the hospital .My partner took care of me through my cancer journey so did my family every step of the way .Chris Grew from the uk .
