So, I don't think I've really addressed this yet, but through this process I have been told that I have extremely dense breasts. Prior to this, I didn't even know that existed! Then a couple of weeks ago Channel 8 started showing this commercial (On a side note, it isn't until you have a cancer diagnosis that you notice just how many commercials there are about cancer):
Clearly having dense breasts can be a serious thing. I am VERY lucky that I could feel my lump. I am not one to go to the doctor often (especially the doctor for girl parts) so if I hadn't, who knows how long that lump would have been there before it was caught. And, by not catching that lump, my cancer cells would have had plenty of time to develop into more cancer and spread and you know where I'm going here! I shudder at the thought. My lady friends, get you boobies checked! I don't care that mammograms aren't supposed to be done until around 40, get them checked!
By the way, no news on the treatment front. However, this was the first week in about two months that my breasts didn't have to go on display to anyone. Win! (Ok pervs, I meant to doctors. Geez!) (Not that they went on display to boys either....)
