Valentines Day 2013

Valentines Day this year was amazing! My beautiful man set a lovely dinner table, cooked a yummy meal, took me for a romantic walk on the beach on a warm balmy night, gave me a dozen pink roses and it felt soooo good. 

But the day started in a different vein. Checking for prickles (haha) around the nipple that morning I detected a lump that felt like a marble. Hmmm didn't feel right. So I made an appointment to see my GP that afternoon.

She said it could be a cyst and couldn't feel any lumps under my arm. Give it 3 weeks and if it is still there she said to use the referrals she gave me for mammogram, scan and biopsy.

4 days later I found a lump under my arm and immediately decided to wait no longer. I struggled to get an appointment asap but managed to get in that Friday 22 Feb.

    Thanks, Tonya. Didn't actually expect any reponses! My intent is to keep a journal of my experiences because I know I'll forget. Mainly for my three grown up daughters. But I also want it to be publicly available to share with friends or anyone really. Not at all sure what my journey ahead will be. About to add to my blog....

    The waiting is the worst part - waiting for an appointment, waiting for results - we understand how the time drags for you. Keep in touch and let us know your results. Thinking of you with fingers crossed it's a false alarm, but here to support you if it's not. Big hug in either case!
