I had a recall to breast screening clinic at Ninewells Hospital after a routine mobile screening.
Upon this recall I then had a biopsy taken.
A few weeks later I was given the diagnosis of lobular breast cancer. This cancer was hormone positive so I had to stop taking HRT and was put on hormone therapy while waiting for surgery.
Within 6 weeks of this I had successful breast conserving surgery.
9 weeks later I had a 5 day course of radiotherapy.
Throughout all of this I was reassured and supported by the breast care team, surgeon and the radiotherapy unit.
All of these teams made me feel ‘looked after’ , important and the kindness shown was second to none.
