Breast Cancer can be a life altering disease, awful to go through but when you get to the other side, suddenly you breathe again and think, OK I'm going to try and make every minute count from here on.
Breast Cancer Survivor and still knitting and crocheting. Yeah!
I found this wonderful t-shirt while goofing off on Pinterest. I love it! It says a lot about who I am. For some reason I'm one of those creatures that hates to perform a self breast check. I don't like the feel, squishy, texture and afraid I might find something. Dumb Huh!!! Thank goodness for a very perceptive Nurse Practitioner. I had one small biopsy years and years earlier which turned out not to be cancer. OK, I can live with that, literally.
But one visit, about 9 years ago has totally changed my perspective. The Nurse Practitioner felt something and it was tiny. I mean tiny. But she made me look for it and low and behold, there it was. A light went on, and now I knew what to watch for in the future. But, the future was already there. I was so lucky that when she found the lump, as it was only beginning. It was cancer, within 2 days I was in the hospital had surgery and 7 days later I was on my way to California for a family wedding. FAMILY WEDDING!! If I hadn't kept the appointment, which let's face it ladies, we feel like it's an interruption, time consuming, an invasion to your life and no one likes to have their boobs smashed in a machine that surely a man designed.
Oh, poor babies that we are.... Go get a check up, have a mammogram, get everything checked that is possible to check. I mean it!! If I hadn't gone, I could have missed two more weddings, my grandchildren growing up, one great granddaughter, moving closer to my family (which is always a great thing : ), two more great grandbabies AND, life with my husband as we grew up, older, and closer as the years have flown by. And, I could go on. But I won't.
