Ignored Breast Cancer For 1 Year

[PixiePopp]

My mum just diagnosed had a lump she ignored for a year. Eventually she has had a biopsy and it's been confirmed as breast cancer. It's 2cm and we are waiting to find out if there is lymph nodes involved.

AIBU to be annoyed she left it for for so long? And has anyone known of anyone who has ignored breast cancer for 12 months and been ok? I can't lose her.

ZOMBIE

It is massively disrespectful to resurrect a sensitive thread, which is 6 months old?!

I hope your dm is ok op.

I do actually know someone who ignored their bc lump for a year OP, and she is basically ok now 10yrs later. You would never know to look at her that she’s had cancer. She had to have a double mastectomy, do chemo, and now takes drugs every day to stop it coming back. Obviously bodies are very different but to answer your question yes it is possible she will be fine. Doctors are very very good at this now.
