Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Hi
For the past few weeks, I have been worrying about something, but trying not to think about it too much, knowing I needed to take action, but living a bit like an ostrich - head in the sand.
A few weeks ago, when checking out the various bits of me that are shrinking, I discovered a rather, in my opinion, substantial lump in my breast. :wave_cry:
At hubby's persistance, I have seen the doc today, and she was not happy either, and is referring me to a breast surgeon for a full exam.
So, I would be silly to say I wasn;t worried, but I am trying not to dwell on it. But - it is a bit scary - so, I am putting a request out there for all you lovelies to help me and send positive healing vibes my way. It is going to be a long few weeks.
I think its going to be fine. But - I did have a complete hysterectomy in 1993. American procedure for a pre-menopausal hysterectomy is a Mammogram every 3 years since I had to go on HRT, and still am as both uterus and ovaries were removed (sorry if too much infor for the guys here). One of the risks of HRT is breast cancer.
When I moved to the UK, I was denied a mammogram. I was told I was too young. WHen I explained my docs in the states views, was basically told "too bad - ya ain't getting one here". So, I have missed about 4 mammograms that I should have been having.
So - it is weighing on the back of my mind, no matter how much I try to shut it out. Its just another test I suppose.
I am a bit frustrated. In a way - I was healthier when I was fat!! Halfway through the diet - diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my spine/neck. 3/4 of the way through - Fibromyalgia. And now this worry. Regardless if what it is - there is something there that shouldn;t be. SOmeones got this all bassackwards!!!
So - yeah. Positive thoughts please? :wave_cry::sigh:
Thanks everyone.
