I am struggling to find a way to
get through until this time tomorrow.
Yesterday I went to see my GP and she ordered an urgent referral for a mammogram and ultra sound on my remaining breast. I am going along to my
local hospital for the tests tomorrow afternoon.
I have been in remission for 16 years but I have severe Lymphoedema.
My husband died last April after a recurrence of renal cancer.
I missed my yearly routine mammogram last year because I was too exhausted and grief ridden to think about it.
I can’t bear the thought of another cancer diagnosis for my family to endure.
I’m 67.

Hello,
All went well at my hospital appointment yesterday.
What a relief !
The consultant radiologist was very reassuring and told me that there " was nothing to worry about " and no lump. She diagnosed me with breast cancer back in 2003.
l still have to see a Consultant for follow up but I can cope with that.
The team I saw yesterday have been looking after me for 27 years I realise and it’s such a help to know the personnel.
Thank you for providing the space for me to express my fears.
Wendy
