I was called back for a second breast screening, didn't think for one minute that it could be serious.....but it was. And so my cancer journey begins.
When the results came back it was confirmed - I went into shock, suddenly my mouth went completely dry and my cheeks flushed - I felt red hot. So, this is what going into shock is like.
Next..... appointments made for further test, so much to ask. The only thing I knew about breast cancer is that it killed my Aunt.
Keeping a positive attitude for the sake of my daughter. But really I feel like getting drunk and crying my eyes out. So for that, I thank you Lulu for keeping me together, for now at least.
