Hi Scrappie and Boo.
how are finding tamoxifen? I was fine for a few months but getting a bit flushed now lol0 -
Hi everyone thanks so much again for the messages and posts I am just back from the hospital with my mum and the news is better than we could ever have wished for.
She doesn't have cancer... it's a rare condition called microglandular adenosis which still requires surgery but is non malignant.
We are utterly delighted but also disappointed in the NHS as they did outright tell mum she had cancer but we can't complain as never expected this news, so thanks again everyone x0 -

The NHS in our area are excellent at treating breast cancer. It is probably because they thought it was cancer that your mum got to the bottom of it very quickly. Delighted for you that it isn't cancer. Good luck for the op.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0
