Probably best to start at the beginning: October last year I went to the doctor with a lump in my armpit, she thought it was most likely normal but referred me anyway.  Having not long turned 50 I had been invited for first mammogram but not yet organised.  I obviously wasn't overly worried, fit and healthy and hadn't found a lump in my breast. A referral was received to go to the Breast Care Unit at the Hospital to meet a consultant, have an ultrasound and mammogram.  Consultant examined, said he thought may be something, radiologist said within normal measurements for a normal lymph node and felt it was fine and to leave it alone! Mammogram came back clear.  Consultant still was

 These new drug’s definitely cause fatigue and it’s bloody irritating!  We’ve had a tough few days with other family concerns and I really could have done with feeling on my A game!  Today I’ve got first bout of diahorrea and it’s not nice! Had to take drug to hopefully counteract it! Not feeling happy with this particular drug at all!  And it’s pissing it down outside, so what more joy could we have then a power cut!  Bad stomach Bad mood No dog walk No tv
