Hi, I am a 72 year old woman, full of life, totally healthy, and care free . Then while doing my check-up two months' ago, I found I had breast cancer in both my breasts. I cann't tell you how many sleepless nights I have had worrying about the big "C"! Fast forward, on Friday, I had two lumpectomies in my left breast and one on my right, together with removal of lymph nodes in both armpits. Can anyone tell me if they are in the same situation? I will be told if I need chemo and radiotheraphy on 3rd October. Of course I can face this, but it is the unknown that frightens me. Help!
