Tata checks ... don't put it off!!

My 10/8/2016 mammogram said there were abnormalities that required immediate follow-up. Call after call ,from my primary care physician and imaging facility, I would dodge for the next two months straight. Now, here it is, more than a year later I'll have THAT follow up. November 2, 2017 is THE day.

Why did I wait so long you say? FEAR! I lost my FAVORITE lady, my Grandmother Barbara, to breast cancer on 06/10/1988 ... the day I graduated from high school. A day I will never forget. So now I ask, could the issue seen on the previous scan now be worse? POSSIBLY. Could my vegan lifestyle have changed some things? ABSOLUTELY but it does not take away the thought of my being positive for breast cancer.

I'm not looking for pity, sympathy or prayers (you don't want everybody praying for you when you don't know their prayer life and if they even have one) but THIS post is to encourage EVERY female to take care of your breasts. We should all do self-checks monthly and follow up as instructed by your PCP if there is a need. No matter my outcome I'm trusting and believing that the Most High will be with me every step of the way.
