lm 48 yrs old, in july 2009 l found a large lump in my right breast , after having an ultrasound l was told it was nothing more that a large cyst, l was sent to see a surgeron, who tried to put a needle into it but it was too hard, it took 4 mths to get me into hospital he wasnt worried about it because it was a cyst, after the operation, l waited 6 days to be told it was cancer, Triple Negative, Stage 3, 3 1/2 cms, 3 weeks later l had my whole breast removed, l decided not to have cemo, because l was too scared to have it, l have heard so many stories about cemo and how bad it is, it has been 6 mths now since l found out, lm now having more test's it looks like its in my liver now.l know l now have to start cemo if l want to live and l do. lm not sure if l will be brave, but l will think of all the other women around the world that are going through what l am, and if they can do it then so can l. 2 wks ago l lost my beauitful grandson to cot death at 8 mths old , so l know my family needs me to do everything and anything to fight this .
