'You have cancer' Words I never expected to hear at 33!! We came home mid holiday for my results, and I was ready to get in the car and go back on holiday after having the all clear..but cancer threw a spanner in the works!! I didnt hear anything else the consultant said after that. I stared out of the window feeling numb, my whole world froze for what felt like ages. Then came the anger, the upset, and frustration. What about my boys??! They need a mum! You just imagine the worst, and nothing terrifies me more than the thought of my boys having to grow up without me, and me not being there to see it...that can't happen. So I won't let it. I have to get rid of this thing. And after further complications with scans I knew that a mastectomy is the only option for me - it was an easy decision. I will have surgery this week, then I will find out what treatment I need from there. I am taking one day at a time, but having a plan really helps! Bye bye boob, do one cancer!!
