My Yearly check with the girls
Every year should get easier, but does it really?
As the day draws near, your mind does over time, thinking to much into it, any little pain or muscle ache. Even though people tell you it will be find not to worry.
The day comes, not sleep the night before just wanting to get the appt and get it started, walking into Moffitt, after parking the car, into reception to get checked in. Wrist band and buzz ready for action. Take elevator up to the 3 floor for the mamo...Its time
You want it to go well, your still in a panic, then your buzzer goes off and your name is called, into the waiting area where you change into a gown, you are not the only one sat waiting, other ladies, all with the same fears wait for good news, no one speaks, everyone looking down at their phones.
The radiologist calls your name and explains what she is about to do, are you listing, not really, just get on with it and tell me whats happening,
With the pictures taken, you are asked to wait back in the waiting room, while the slides are checked. Tick Tock time goes real slow....
The you are greeted by a smiling face telling you that everything looks good, and you may now get dressed.
Now its off to the next appointment with the doctor to discuss the results and any concerns you might have.
The doctors are always so busy so you wait up to an hour, finally you are with the doctor, who herself had breast cancer and she explains that just because you are in the Breast Cancer Club, not one cancer is the same and no woman is the same, so don't compare notes with each other because we are all different and there are different levels.
Still doesn't stop you comparing apples to apples and getting oranges does it!
So for now November 2018 I have the all clear, I still have to lose weight and make changes! But for now its all good and we get to live our lives and move forward into 2019
