One of my closest friends is awaiting results of a biopsy - they want to remove whatever the lumps are regardless - could be as quick as next week. Not good.

I've a few females friends, older and younger who have been affected by breast cancer: it's worrying how common it is.

Thanks Ammi. You'll 'know' who it is (so to speak), I often referred to her in pms. She's putting the big brave face on but she's not doing a good job of hiding her worry. The docs are 'sure' lumps are benign - not that that is a reassurance till she gets the results.

I'd like to do something in honour of my mum. Like a sponsored walk maybe?

That's true. I would do the same if it was me. You don't want your family to worry.

Looks like my mum also kept it a secret from everyone. I think she knew she was sick, but didn't want us to worry.
