Update: I had the scheduled NHS mastectomy Thursday afternoon and, amazingly, was home by 7pm. The MRI/biopsies had shown 2 tumours (not there at last self-referred mammogram 3 years ago) hence lumpectomy out of question which was explained to me.
Took sentinel lymph node biopsies (blue dye) so fingers crossed it hasn't spread. Now await results: is that it - or need further treatment?
This all exemplifies the need for my petition: who knows my outcome if I hadn't self-referred...
Cancer doesn't stop when you're 70 and neither should mammograms!
Please keep sharing and signing (well over 71,000 and still climbing!). Glad to see guys adding their signatures!
