The discovery

February 4/11

Woke up in the morning with pain in the right breast. My first thought was, "What? Did I walk into a wall or something?" Then I felt it and immediately noticed a lump that wasn't there before. Ran downstairs to call my doctor regarding a mammogram, but saw the mail had been delivered. Grabbed the letters and ironically, discovered a form from the Ontario Breast Screening Program advising me it was time for my annual mammogram! How strange is that? Called the number immediately and asked to book the earliest appointment possible. They reported the earliest was March 4th - a whole month away. I wasn't happy, but booked it anyway.
