THE BEGINNING

END OF NOVEMBER

It all begin in the shower. I felt a lump in my right breast,and about the same time i felt the blood running out from my face too. I thought this is bad news ,whatever it is.I was scared of the unknown thing inside of me.
The next day i went to my health clinic to have a breast exam.My doc said it's probably just a cyst,but we have to investigate more ,just to make sure it's nothing serious.I was sent to radiology to get my very first mammogram,and also ultrasound.I have a small breast a 34A.
No one ever told me mammogram is a torcher! It's barbaric and very painful.It smashed my poor little twins into pancakes ,not to mention my new additional lump.I was screaming in my head 'woman you better stop ,because i cant take it much longer'.My mammo specialist was a tiny little Japanese girl,very pretty.She just smiled and said it's almost done,hang on.' So i did with all my fingers wrapped around the machine.The images were pretty cool looking,like a dark galaxy from star wars.
After mammo i went to ultrasound.The room was very calming,warm and dark.I could most definitely take a nap there after the horror of mammo. Didn't happened i was a patient ,and needed answers.The US specialist was a nice lady,she took a bunch of pictures,and called the doctor in.The doctor look at the images and called for two more doctors....They started to whisper unknown language into each others ears.That's when i started to worry .I felt like a rat in a cage,without name.I was told that something is not right in my right boob.I have calcification's,i have a mass,and i have two more  suspicious lump in my axillary.He said it's something i should worry about.So i did.In 10 minutes i was scheduled for core biopsy for next week.
