Taking a shower just before work. There’s this lump above The right breast …oh
shit, shit, shit, shit, don”t even go there It can’t be…
T – 2
Off to see Dr G, she thinks it’s too high up, the
tissues too
Soft: hopes
uplifted. Ultrasound and mammogram
confirmed the dreaded diagnosis, breast cancer.
Words like malignancy, most commonly invasive ductal carcinoma. Heavy words, heavier meaning
The pathologist (a friend) did an urgent fine needle
biopsy, and by the afternoon, sat me down for a heart-to-heart talk.
Confirmed my worst nightmare, and more, there’s this
thing called the regime of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. More heavy words, I couldn’t carry
anymore. I went into a state of shock,
disbelief, only absorbed every other line he churned out.
I was about to start work, but seeing how shaky I was,
and Finding out the reason why, my boss told me to go home. They were more worried about how I’d drive
home.
Got hold of my friends and had a good cry. Friends’ shoulders are extremely capacitating
and comfortable when the mind is topsy turvy in turmoil. Another friend offered her breast, obviously
friends shared boobs too. Rang my
sister, support across the seas also came in abundance and unconditionally.
Lumpectomy on 24 April, followed by Chemotherapy and
then Radiotherapy. Everything sailed
through so fast, there was no time to ponder nor brood nor worry. Faith is also so important, to know that He
walks beside me and helps me fight all the way.
That’s right, it’s a fight. I am not a survivor, some of us don’t like
that classification, but I am a fighter.
There’s plenty of research in this field now, but awareness is essential
and all women should be empowered to know help is there. We have to all fight together to win this
battle.
