Plain Talker Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 just heard on the news that the actress/ singer Marianne Faithfull has been diagnised as having early stage breast cancer. doctors say that she has a good prognosis as it has, hopefully, been caught in the early stages. heres hoping for good health and a swift recovery, for her and others facing the same diagnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleracer Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 She's no spring chicken either so she will have a real fight on her hands. The chances of survival is getting better every year and wish her the best but what I didn't know about breast cancer is it can affect men to. Never heard of any man get it.

Gangan Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 She's no spring chicken either so she will have a real fight on her hands. The chances of survival is getting better every year and wish her the best but what I didn't know about breast cancer is it can affect men to. Never heard of any man get it. A friend of mine had it.A big strapping man too.He was clear for 5 years then it returned and he"s having further treatment. I "ve learned a lot about BC since Sept/06 because after a routine mammogram I too was diagnosed with BC. A month later I had a single Mastectomy. Since then I have had a course of Radiotherapy Treament from Dec 19/06 to Jan 11/07. I made a round trip of 60 miles for 15 appointments with Weekend and Holiday breaks.The trips were pleasant though, because friends set up a Rota of drivers from family and friends.It was good to chat to different ones during the trips and I am very grateful for their help.For the next 5 years I have to take anti- cancer drugs.I tell my family that although I"ve lost a boob, I"ve still got my life, because the BC was caught in the early stages.Yet, if I had not gone for the Mammogram I would be sitting here now unaware of cancer spreading through my body.<The cancer cells had already spread to 3 of my Lymph Glands too> Ladies! Go for the Mammogram! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
