Today I found out a dear friend got a call back from her mammogram Friday. She is calling them back Monday. Because of what I have gone thru she went and had a mammogram. She asked me to pray for her. Of course I will. I told her to call me as soon after she gets off the pone with them. I really didn't know what to say. I didn't want to give her false hope that everything will be OK cause you never know. I just read that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnose with breast cancer in their life. What kind of odds are those? That makes no sense. What is causing so many women come down with this disease. Did you know that 14000 women were diagnose with breast cancer in Australia in 2010? That's just Australia. This is a crazy life long battle. First it was the surgery and now preventive measures to keep it from coming back. I have to rethink everything now. How I eat, how I take care of my body. This whole thing is just mind-blowing when you try to take it all in at one time. I feel for my girlfriend. I am praying she doesn't have to join this club. The people in it are great but we are not here because we want to be in this club.
I know early detection is very important and I know that it is why my time has been as "easy" as it has. If I didn't catch it as early as I did probably at this time It would have spread to my lymph nodes and on its why thru out my body. Nobody could have paid me enough a year ago for me to believe I would have breast cancer now. To this day it's still hard to believe.
