The Big C
I was browsing through some of my old friends' blogs when I came across with the words Breast Cancer. This reminded me of my long overdue appointment with another doctor for a second opinion. A few months ago, I went to our family doctor because I thought I felt something on my left breast. After cheking it, she has confirmed that that something is really there. She instructed me to have an ultrasound right away just to make sure, plus some anti-biotics. In the hospital, while waiting for my name to be called, reality suddenly struck me. "Breast Cancer...? I don't remember any of my relatives who've had this disease.." *worried* Then I thought about my daughter. What if after the ultrasound and other tests, they'll confirm na I have the Big C? Yikes! That night, I told my mom about it. I could tell she was scared and really worried. But knowing my mom, hindi lang nya pinapahalata.
Until now, I think that something is still there but I just don't like touching it. I'm scared, I think.. cos baka one time pag naramdaman ko yun, it might be the size of a ping-pong ball!
