Overheard in the results clinic. The girl who said it only looked about 19.
If you are going to have breast cancer, I think my sort of age (mid-40 something) is the optimum time to get it because:
- you are more confident in your body so losing a breast is less important
- menopause-inducing treatment is less of an issue because that's the way you're headed anyway
- you are still young enough and strong enough for your body to cope
- chances are you're in a solid enough relationship by now to take the strain.
JP's back at work today so I'm fending for myself. Each day brings little triumphs on the recuperation road - yesterday's were walking round Mill Lake and having sufficient dexterity to put my contact lenses in. Recovery from the op is of course just the end of the beginning. Phase 2 will be determined next week by Miss Bello's Black Box. Fingers crossed for a low-grade, non-invasive cancer. I don't want no chemo shit either!
