ve been on this cancer journey id say from 16 years ago although i had my thyroid removed 28 years ago.At the time i didnt acknowledge that it was part of the bigger picture that was to follow.the thyroid was pushing on my windpipe.so it had to go.
I had kids and was urged to get mammograms earlier by a loved one due to family advice.i was eligible and started at 40.42 grade 3 was found in breast , had removal and breast alignment.i was diagnosed with cowdens syndrome, at the time i didnt really know but used to look at American sites.i find myself helpjng professionals regarding my 1 in 200000 .im a rare bird.8 years ago, i felt something wasnt right in other breast although mamograms were clear.a grade 2 was found.i had a belt and braces aporoach and this so and so was found on my kidney.so ive opted for monitoring as consultants believe it is so slow growing.i also had 2 spots on my lungs which are now nodules ' subplureal nodules' which has been classed as benign so have ct scans for that to determine what it is for ' peace of mind'.im told it could be scarring from chest infections.
Got ct scan for this in 2 weeks
Im very grateful to nhs, monitoring me , but im trying to keep my anxiety in order.anyone got any advice on anything....i dont want to google but knowledge is a powerful thing sometimes.i try and box it and bring it out of the cupboard when and if needed.
My family are aware of this but i prefer to just be me out of my family.i.e.not chat about it
All the best to you all on your journeys.this cancer journey is a right old roller coaster. Not sure what to ask but im a bit freaked out.
