I had a phone call from my sister last week, and she sounded really down.
When I asked her if she was ok, she broke down and said it was just the kids getting her down. This isn’t like her, so I wasn’t convinced but put it to the back of my mind.
Today I went to see my mum, and she was there, in tears, beside herself.
When I asked her what was wrong, she wouldn’t tell me, but kept on until she told me that she had found a lump.
She had been to see her GP and had been told that she could feel 3 lumps, and was going to get her fastracked to the hospital, she goes on friday.
I know she was trying to protect me, but I feel upset that she didn’t come to me, as if anyone knows how she is feeling it’s me!!!
She has been there for me all through my journey, so I want to be there for her.
I really want to tell her that it will probably be nothing(which I am hoping) but its hard to say those words when I had them said to me, and everyone was wrong.
I really have everything crossed for her, as I don’t want her to go through what I have been through.
Sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest.(ha Ha)
I am so pleased to read your sister was ok.Thank goodness it all turned out ok.Felt really sad when i read your post as i have 2 sisters and i would be devastated at the thought of them going through what i am going through.I did however find it very hard to tell them that they should be more breast aware because of my breast cancer and inform my older sister who is 41 that she is now able to go for mamograms because of my diagnosis.(i am sure this is the case)
Hi Angie
So pleased for your sister. My older sister has 'had lumpy breasts for years - and in fact has had several benign lumps removed. I on the other hand have never had a problem at all - and believe me I’ve done the ‘why me???’ tons of times
