my fears

by pickles on 3/9/2008 at 5:56 pm in Early Detection
Right now I am so scared. It seems like I am always tearing up. I feel like such a baby. I also feel like people are getting tired of me talking about it. But I can't seem to talk about anything else.

It's ok. I cried all the time. Trying to tell one of my bosses I was on a wait list for a biopsy, another boss (these are attorneys) told me he could get me into a surgeon right away for the lump, and I was standing there saying there is no lump. Crying to and from work in the car. Lying in bed at night crying crying. It is so scary, but there are many, many good and wonderful health care providers out there with so much skill and compassion. I was amazed. And it's better to talk talk talk. No one else can walk in your shoes and know what it's like unless they too are a patient & survivor. You are early detection? That's good, very good. I was too. Found on my annual mammogram. I was stunned yet not so surprised really....my mother had Hodgkins lymphoma when I was 11; my dad lung cancer many years later. So the history was there. But still. You will be okay. I still remember coming out of surgery (lumpectomy) and this kind nurse bent down to me and said "I'm sorry you had to go through this. You will be okay." I never forgot those words. And bless her she was right. Five years later.
