Yeah, you read that right. Ugh. I better go this week. I went for an annual check up when I was 28 and they found a mass in my left breast that I was unaware of... that led to 5 weeks of hell before I had surgery (we had an HMO at the time so everything actually went pretty fast for that realm). It was actually three masses and they were benign. In my early thirties I had another scare that turned out to be nothing... so I avoid. But it has been awhile...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432350654444522232.post-27551226744143469282008-06-01T07:43:00.000-07:002008-06-01T07:43:00.000-07:00What a terrible scare!

I'm always amazed at how medical people can tell you to come in, but we can't get you in for weeks - frightening. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad everything is okay.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626432491576865096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432350654444522232.post-30563316960823255302008-06-01T06:40:00.000-07:002008-06-01T06:40:00.000-07:00Bless your heart!

So I'll tick off all the awful possibilities (like when someone is late, car accident, etc..) then I feel like I'm safe from those things because I've already imagined them and aren't the worst things the ones that take us by surprise?? Of course I have a friend who says thinking of the bad things INVITES them into your life... nope, I am not buying that one! I guess we all live in some sort of denial... but don't we have to??

I, too, tend to think the worst and worry about everything! <BR/>You definitely put it in perspective by saying "that's an awfully long time to wait to find out if you have cancer". I've have three or four cancer scares and I have this tendency to sit there and look at people in anger and think to myself, "don't you realize I could have cancer?" <BR/>It's a scary place to be and you are forever there no matter how much they tell you you're ok.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you're ok!
