Waiting...

Hi Jeanette, The memory of that call back day at breast screen is burned into my mind. It was in St Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne and there were many women there. We were all given blue robes to wear while we sat waiting. The nurse could see my fear when I arrived and she told me not to worry as "nine times at a ten, there'd be nothing wrong". I'd have another mammogram showing the tests would be clear and I could go home. I didn't have any symptoms before my original mammogram so this eased my mind a little. After the mammogram I waited to be told I could go home, then they gave me a physical examination and again I waited to be told I could go home, then needle biopsies and by that time I knew I was that "ten". It was the most terrifying day of my life. Two days later it was confirmed. But today just over a year later I'm done with waiting and well and truly out of that chair. The year actually had flown by even though it was filled with treatments and surgery. I can't believe that it's done. I'm sure this will happen to your year too Jeanette and before you know it you'll be looking back and everything will be done. Love Janey xxx
