and yeah I went in to get these results and do you know what I had had normal kind of lumps and bumps before and I'd had these biopsies and it had never turned out to be anything so I kind of assumed it would be the same you know that it would just be one of those things and I even said to my husband don't come with me today because our son was poorly at the time and I said take him to the doctor I'll go and get this sorted and then we'll meet at the end of the day and he just kind of said no I'll come

And he kind of made arrangements so that our son was covered. And I'm really glad he did because, you know, you walk into the room and there's not only your consultant, but there's this Macmillan nurse, which is a, I don't know if you have that in the US, but it's a cancer charity that's in the UK.

And I spotted her and I just had this sort of rush of adrenaline go through my body of, oh, gosh, he's leaning forward looking really sad. What is going on?

And I'm so, so lucky we caught it as early as you possibly could. And so, you know, I'm out the other side and I didn't have to have anything like, you know, chemo or the stuff that makes you really, really poorly and unwell. I'm so lucky I didn't have to go through all of that. But you also, I think when you find out there's this, you don't find out everything in one go.
