I am a breast cancer survivor. In fact, that is only one of the things I have survived. Instead of starting at the beginning or the end, I am going to start in the middle
I was a Regional Sales Manager for a tax and legal publishing company for 12 years. The company was bought, sold, merged and acquired so many times that I lost inches–and, ultimately I lost my job. Now I’m skipping a few years ahead. My mother was diagnosed with methothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by asbestos, for which there is no cure. I basically moved to Long Island and stayed with her until she passed.
After that, My husband and I sold our house, bought a bigger house and moved my father from New York to South Jersey. We took care of him for 6 years until he passed away and I then decided to take a year off before going back to work.
During my time off I went for my annual mammogram and they found something irregular and called me back for another mammogram and an ultrasound. As I sat in the hallway waiting and waiting and waiting I got so scared that I started to cry. Finally, the nurse told me the radiologist wanted to see me. More tears as I waited in another exam room. He came in the room and the first words out of his mouth were “It looks like you have an architectural distortion and I think you should see a surgeon as soon as possible”. By the way, this was on a Friday afternoon and I would NEVER recommend having a mammogram on a Friday.
In the midst of my hysteria, I realized that I was not alone. One of my best friends had been diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before. Through my tears, I took my reports back up to the chemo room and was greeted by the nurses and patients I knew from taking my friend there.
In my ongoing blog postings I hope to address the my diagnosis, my treatment and how we found the need to create an online website with gifts for the mind, body, spirit and soul — that we would have loved to have had during our treatment.
