Take heart – twenty-five years

Just a short blog for all of those of you who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Today marks the day of my first operation – 25 years ago!

We are also 10 years past the mastectomy of the same breast… and I’m still here.

 

A third of my lifetime, won due to the fact that I live in a country where medical

insurance is obligatory, where care is good and where, mostly, doctors listen to

patients (that first lump was outside the normal radius and my gynecologist didn’t

feel it until I pointed it out).

 

If breast cancer is still killing, it is killing less as we diagnose faster and have better tools for eradicating it.

 

Keep checking, I hope that all who are diagnosed today follow my path and “live to tell the tale”.
