To Linda, how long have you been dancing with this disease? I have come across so many women who just "Had a Lump" and nothing to worry about and they have died, and yet here we are with all the doom and gloom dumped on us at diagnosis after they receive the pathology. A young soapie start on Home and Away Belinda Emmet was diagnosed in 1998 when she was in her 20's and they just took the lump and said you will be fine, a bit like Kylie Minogue, well 2 years later she thought she had strained her back on the movie take "The Dish" and after a couple of different opinions she had Bone Mets, now she does not divulge where she is at but she got married recently and she looked like a skeleton with skin pull tight, considering she was a beautiful bright young women, I have seen ladies that look like this and only last another 6 months, even my nephews mother-in-law came to visit me in hospital after surgery and she had a Mastectomy 12 months before and she was told she only needed the lump removed but she insisted on the breast and had no rads or chemo, 2 years later she had bone mets after much pain and then seizures where they detected brain mets, she passed away 3 years ago next month. I could probably go on so it seems we do have a 47% chance more than the other victims. We may have to do our own survey with the ladies on this site, something Joe might have to brainstorm.
Love & Hugs Lyn
