There are no appointments this week. More next week and also the second cycle of chemo.
Many people have asked me how I discovered the lump and it was during my shower routine that I noticed that there seemed to be a hard lump underneath the skin in one breast that was not present in the other. I made an appointment with my doctor to get it checked out and she referred me to the hospital. They did an ultrasound and a biopsy and a few days later I learnt of the diagnosis.
The cancer is in stage 1 so I caught it early and it is hormone sensitive which I am told is a good thing. Don't know why.
So ladies (and gentlemen) it is worth checking yourselves now and again. And yes you gents too. Men can also have breast cancer.
