Re: What worked for you?
Wow,
haven't logged on for a while. (Went a bit (lot) down). Will keep logged in more often now.
Will take this battery of suggestions to my 2nd and 3rd opinions coming up soon. Have now found tumour in right breast. Seems strange since I've had positive right lymph node for 3 years and not a sign in mammos or MRI until now.
Thank you everyone. Feel well supported.
