My Breast Cancer Experience.
'Denise there is an 80% chance you have Breast Cancer...!
For me it was like............. Ok what's next??
All but briefly a feeling of vulnerability set in but my conscious mind soon kicked in to action, I rolled up my sleeves and said to
myself.... Denise you can do this!!!! My mindset and actions were steadfast and on reflection I could see this helped not only
me, but the people supporting me.
Before you know it you’re at the starting line of the biggest race of your life! With sheer grit, determination and a positive mental
attitude, unprecedented support from my friends, family, and work colleagues!................
I started my race against time!
I described my breast cancer journey like being in a relay, each 200mtrs passing on the baton to the next leg of the race of
tests, meetings, surgery, more surgery, results, radiotherapy and Hormone Receptor Blocking Tablets.
A few curve balls are also thrown in………. Thank you Cancer!
Did you know that early detection of breast cancer...? In fact, all Cancers....give you a much better chance?
WOMEN check yourselves...GO for your routine mammograms………. the sooner the better!
I'm going to emphasize the word 'TEAM' The multidisciplinary team of medical staff that looked after me! Breast Care Nurse,
Radiologist, Surgeons, Oncologist and Pathologist!
Let's not forget the ward nurses! Yes...they also fight your fight!
Apparently, from now on I will be living a 'new' normal life! One that I'm very grateful for! One that I will fight for and one that I
will continue to help The Breast Cancer Unit for.
What Cancer Research means to me is.... Cure, absolutely! eradicate eventually and Never Return!
Good riddance to Cancer………. that’s what I say...!
Thank you, each and every one of you! Let’s come together and keep up the fight against Cancer! Denise Coates.
