I have returned to look after my mum who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to my sister's insistance that she go for a routine screening the consequences would have been much worse.

Mum has had the tumours removed today and tests were carried on the lymph nodes and they were clear. A course of Radio-therapy to follow and hopefully that will be it.

As you can imagine the last 5-6 weeks were very worring and being in NZ the quality of information was patchy....
