I found a lump in June and have been diagnosed with what I think they are saying is triple positive breast cancer. I had cancer cells in some lymph notes. In early September I had a lumpectomy and lymph node clearance. My margins were not clear so on 23rd October I had further surgery. I am waiting to hear the result of this but was told I was going to need chemotherapy and hormone treatment which would be followed by radiotherapy. I am 74 and wondering how I will deal with this. My daughters are grown up and I am retired so have no pressure about work. However my husband and help look after grandchildren four days a week.
