Marg is out there doing it

Marg Goble thanks her husband Darryl for insisting she have a mammogram.
At first Marg's reply was, "I'm not ready yet".
But she did eventually go for the mammogram, which probably saved her life.
That was Christmas 2006 when a lump was detected, and within two weeks of her mammogram results, Marg was sent to Palmerston North for a biopsy.
Marg said she always checked herself and never found anything, which could explain why she rejected her husband's push to go for breast screening.
She was also not in the compulsory age group for a mammogram.
The cancer Marg was diagnosed with was in the milk duct area. It was an invasive cancer and if it had leaked out, the result would have been catastrophic.
A first piece was taken from Marg's breast and when she returned to the specialist he referred her back to Palmerston North to take a wider insertion.
In April last year Marg and Darryl returned to Palmerston North for radiation therapy.
The Goble's have two teenagers who they had to arrange care for during the six-week stay.
The service at Palmerston North and their stay at Ozanam House was fantastic, but it was the not knowing what was going on that played in the back of Marg's mind.
"At first I felt sorry for myself, but I thought about the kids and Darryl and knew I had to stay positive."
On Monday Marg goes back for her first year check. She's hopeful she'll get the all-clear and be in remission for the next five years.
And for now Marg said she's keeping herself fit, as she has always done and keeps a pretty good diet.
Her advice to other women, and men who are one percent in the statistics "early detection is early cure."
