Called back after a routine mammogram in November, probably a cyst , maybe not…. Biopsy taken and then told its cancer, ok I can cope with it ( just ) then told another area of concern ( can’t cope wit that ) two more biopsy’s , lots of waiting ( horrendous) and then offered a double lumpectomy ( preferred by surgeon ) or a mastectomy …. Surgery to remove two small tumours on the 6th February. Recovered well and post surgery meeting with consultant today . No sleep last night , felt every ache was the cancer in another area….A bit of good news, 2 tumours removed with clear margins , 4 lymph nodes removed and all clear with no sign of cancer . Next step radiotherapy which I am fine with - then hormone therapy for a 67 year old - that is another story but so glad to be where I am now and a huge thank you to all you lovely people who have helped me get this far - wishing everyone the best wherever you may be in this…

Great news! So pleased for you. Good luck with your radio and hormone therapy. There’s an end in sight… xx
Hi, I am 64 and have been on Anastrazole for 18 months. For the first few months I got stiff hips before I started moving about in the morning. That went, then similar thing with my Achilles. For the last year the only real side effect is that I get a bit more tired, usually in the evening. Hope you don’t get many either.
Oh that is good😊 news . I’m really happy for you xxx
Congratulations for the great news!
