I had some happy news today. Someone I know was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Today I heard that the diagnosis was made early enough for her to avoid chemo- and/or radiotherapy. She "only" has to take Tamoxifen for the next five years. I'm delighted for her - radiotherapy isn't fun and, though I didn't need it, chemotherapy is, I understand, very unpleasant.
So, here's to early diagnosis (and trying not to feel resentful that my own case could have been equally successful if only the medics has listened to me sooner than they did!)
To the recipient of today's good news - keep well and make the most of every minute! We have seen what could be and know how important it is to celebrate our time here.
