9 months to the day since I ran the Tokyo marathon and also got my hands on a 6 star medal 🤩 - fast forwards exactly 6 months to 2nd September when I went to see my GP about a lump I’d found in my right b**b - referred straight to the breast screening clinic in Chorley and 2 weeks later following a mammogram and ultrasound I was told that it was definitely a breast cancer and I had biopsies done the same day 😭 - the 2 week wait for the results was torture but it gave me time to do a total deep dive PhD level research project into breast cancer, the types, the grades, the stages - you know it’s serious when you get a notebook specifically for the task in hand 🥹 following lots more tests and scans I have now had lymph node surgery and got the results back yesterday to say all clear 🥳🎉 Tomorrow I go in for more surgery and a much longer recovery so I won’t be back in clinic until……. I have no idea! I’ve been told it could take up to 3 months to fully recover so that maybe means 4-6 weeks! 🤣 once a runner always a runner!!! - all jokes aside I have never been so scared and worried in my whole life! - your world just stops when they say the C word and i literally could have been sick in that room - everybody’s breast cancer is different and unique to them but the key is to find it early so check your b**bs ladies - if it can happen to me it can happen to you!
