Dear Betsy Mae,

I am really sorry to read about your breast cancer diagnosis.

My mum had breast cancer over 15 years ago and I remember the support she had at that time was excellent. I am in no doubt that you will have far more options for support and treatment than that of bladder cancer.

I am happy to read that you have made friends here at the forum and will remain active on this site.

Glad to see that even though you are facing difficult times ahead your humour remains which will help you so much.

Betsy Mae I wish you all the very best for your op next Wednesday and for a short stay in hospital and a speedy recovery.

Please keep us updated....

Kind Regards
Leigh

Just to let you all know: I have a grade 3 tumour in my left breast (very aggressive) which is being removed on 15th October. They don't think there is any lymph involvement but I think I may well end up with chemo as a precaution.
As I said earlier "life is just not fair!"
I have been told that there is no link between the urachal tumour of last year and this new one. They are both primaries. It is just a case of bad luck!
I am planning to keep active on this site as I have made a lot of good friends on here. However, it will be interesting to see how I am supported through the breast cancer journey as I feel I had little emotional support during the bladder one! Good to have a 'trendy' cancer! (not!)
Keep smiling!
Betsy Mae
