It's Time
Well, the day has arrived! I'm having my 1 year check up today with an ultrasound & mamogramm. I'm so nervous & scared.
Not sure I could hear those words again.
I didn't sleep at all last night. ...
It depends on if its unusual or not. I had a freak out about it and rang my Breast Care Nurse, who gave me a probable reason, and I waited to see if it would get worse. I discovered, in that instance, there wasnt anything wrong. I asked my Onc about mine, and he said, if it really annoys me it can be taken out, but with the explanaition of why its there, I decided to wait a couple of years, just incase. (my luck goes like this, if they take it out, I will need it the next day!). For me, it plays up if I do something different, and its to do with the muscle its attached to. My first time followed the first time I had to have my arms in the air for Radiation prep tattooing. It annoys me if I get stressed out and upset, and pings as I call it, if Ive done too much exercise aerobically. Other than that, its right in the way of my bra strap, and it still annoys me, but I tell myself after 9 months, I will get used to it!
I wish you the best of luck with your first scans, I have that all ahead of me. I had that discussion the other day with some-one about trying to practise the art of pushing things to the back of my mind. "Dont worry about what may never happen" is what I have to remind myself constantly. x Bel
