I’m Okay!!!

[cathschaffstump]

Thank you all for the good hopes. I probably shouldn't have written about it at all, but I was scared. My doctor was very sober about it, which didn't help. As I mentioned, intellectually I was pretty sure we weren't looking at cancer. Breast lumps that are cancerous are like little marbles, today's doc told me. I knew that. And my background was in my favor. Still, the human imagination is an incredible worrier, and we artistic types are quite neurotic already.

Now, a word from the medical establishment: if you notice ANY bump, or you have any suspicions at all, it's best to get these things checked. Just because it's not cancer, you could have some other things going on, and it's better to know the terrain of your body. Also, that reassurance that tells you that things are normal is worth WHATEVER it costs. Believe me. Today I believe I can function. Yesterday, not so good.

So, what is my problem? Same old. I'll put the wimmin's stuff under the cut for those of you who might be delicate flowers.
