It has been quite a long time...years in fact that I have posted here. In my search for love, it has brought me to a diagnoses of breast cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 weeks shy of my 40th birthday. I was formally told over the phone by Dr. Karp that I have breast cancer around Oct 27, 2014. My birthday is November 16.
I had no feelings about it really. I just thought, okay something good must come out of this terrible journey I am about to embark on. It was my husband really who seemed more scared and horrified by this news. In fact, he is my angel.
The love of my life, my angel. The first gift out of this illness is my husband finding the lump. Yes, it was found out of love. I am so proud of that. You see, I was only 39 years old and was not qualified for an annual mammogram. Therefore, the only way I would be able to find a lump is by feeling my breast. Unfortunately, since I am a busy mom, I didn't have time to examine my breast on a regular basis. My life has been one focused on serving others. It seems though, that it's my time now. Time to take care of myself and my needs. Is this what this disease is about?
