To bother or not to bother.

We have a particularly virulent strain of flu doing the rounds of our community at the moment. I succumbed to this flu two weeks ago and was even forced to go to my own doctor to get a medical certificate and any sort of medication that would stop the wretched coughing that plagued me day and night. The doctor took one look at my records and told me I was overdue for my regular recommended check ups of the women's health variety. "Damn!" I thought, "I'm healthy (apart from this cold) and there is no family history of anything sinister". The indignation of it all!

Well, to my surprise she found a breast lump - unbelievable.....(nuisance!). I am now going to have to attend a specialist who will no doubt prod and poke and stick needles in me. My own doctor thinks it is a cyst...benign but needing a check (immediately). These sorts of things do make you feel just a trifle vulnerable however.....especially when they tell you not to delay making the appointment with the specialist. Funny, I never thought I would be one of the thousands of women who have to go through this - it was never going to happen to me. I'm sure it will be fine however.

Jenny: I'm glad they're doing this right away, even though it's a bother. You don't want it hanging over your head. Here they are very insistent about doing screening every year, and though it's never pleasant, I think it's good to get it done.

We'll be thinking about you...
