after i had my second child i found a lump luckiliy enou it ws only milk ducts but about about 2 yrs ago my mums friend died of breast cancer wiv all the medicine they got u think theyd be able to find a cure

I think with early diagnosis they are winning half the battle. Unfortunately the word cancer covers a huge range of illnesses all reacting differently depending on the form and even down to the individual who hosts it and on that basis there will never be a cure for cancer in our lifetime. Having said that they are certainly beginning to cure and control many of the individual forms of the disease.

My friend who was told her 16 yr son will lose his battle with cancer very soon is probably thinking why havn’t they been able to find a cure yet

That’s the injustice of it all Kenty – it doesn’t discriminate. :(

Yeah kenty.. Life can be VERY cruel at times. ;( and thanks for your replies Girls. I have heard of people before with the blocked Milk Duct. Must be a right scare to find one. Whilst you wee buggers have hardly encouraged me to go skipping and a hopping all the way :) I WIll go, as i know how important it is, and i have Cancer in the Family ( sister) . I have heard your more likely by % to maybe get it if you have / had a sibling with it.
On a better note Im Proud of the research that has gone on in my Home City of Dundee,towards finding a cure. or at least a little way getting there.

and kenty dont mention smear tests ffs.. I ended up in an astronaut looking seat thing last time, to find the hiding cervix LOL..

Thanks for your honesty Sisters :) x

I had to go and have investigations and a biopsy a few years ago in that region and I was sitting in the waiting room and some guy nearing retirement was coming in calling for the ppl ahead of me so I thought nothing of it. Anyway there must have been a shift change coz when it came to being my name called this drop dead gorgeous Dr of a similar age to me came wandering in and called my name.
Couldn’t help but find the whole thing uncomfortable and under any other circumstances would have loved a hotty like that playing with my lady lumps but at that moment I wanted the ground to swallow me whole (especially at the questions he asked).
Haha it’s all what makes life interesting though huh?

I can empathise with that Melody after having a mammogram and being told to wait outside until they looked at the x-rays they called me back in for a scan. This doctor tripped in looking at my notes then looked up and said ooooooh its THE Mrs Rosepetal! I could have died it was a father of three kids that attended my school. As he scanned the offending part, I remember looking at his eyes and wondering how he was going tell me. He simply looked across and said sorry Rose you’ve got cancer. I was and always will be grateful for his straight talking no nonsense approach.

I could go on and tell you about the Extra Squeezy Tool that comes later and the horrendous staple gun thingy they ram into your most tender parts but of course i wouldnt want to scare you lol

So keep checking girls , you know it makes sense! lol

I think they are pretty upfront in telling people these days Rose. sorry for your ordeal x

My dawta has three lumps on one of her breasts – she went to her quacks who said nothing to worry about – she has an appointment tomorrow at mine – soz for being overprotective, but it isn’t normal in a 19yr old, and her grandmother died of it!

Better safe than sorry I reckon, even tho she hates me for interfering – tough boobies! x

my daugher had a lump removed 2 years ago anc
was a worry at the time
but every thing turned out fine and im sure your daughter will be too x
