Description:
I'm a 49 year old mother of 2. I'm a carer for my 18 year old son who is autistic. I'm divorced but remain friends with my ex-husband. My daughter is 25, a trainee accountant and still lives at home.
My BC Story So Far:
I went to my G.P. in April after finding a lump in my breast, I also had what appeared to be a boil on the outside. Two days later I had an appointment at the breast care unit and had the tests. A week later I was called back for a core biopsy and a CT scan.
The tests showed that I have hormonal BC, and the 'boil' was a fungating lesion.
The doctor said I dont need surgery, Its being treated with Tamoxifen and a Zoladec injection every 4 weeks, I also had a short course of steroids at the beginning.
