In October, I signed up for some free health insurance, and had a physical. One of the tests that the Dr. ordered was a mammogram. Yesterday was my 2:30 p.m. appointment. I know that is funny...getting a normal appointment on a weekend.
What was typical was, they were late for my appointment. THEN...she was going to take a lady before me that had missed her 10:00 a.m. appointment.
When I finally got in, she asked me how old I was.
I said fifty-six.
"That can't be right."
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"No!!! You just look like MAYBE 46." She then proceeded to take two pictures on the right side and two on the left. "Wait to see how well these turned out before you leave in case I need to re-shoot them."
Now...any of you who know me, know that my Sis had breast cancer twice.
I have told cancer it is NOT allowed to live in my body, EVER! Also...I take pretty good care of myself.
Then there is the fact that Farmer J is very observant and if he felt something that was not right, he would have said something to me.
At least that is what I said to myself as I waited for these 'films' to come out of the processor.
I KNOW what breast cancer looks like on an x-ray. As the film came out of the machine, she put them up on the light frame.
And there it was. Four shots of the most perfect looking x-rays. Without any suspect spots.
In my relief, I said..."Aren't those just perfect!?!?"
As she turned her face to mine...it said it all.
With a BIG smile, she said...Yes they are!
So...As a very happy, breast cancer free female, I have to say...guess I am doing something right.
YEAH! Now I have something else to be grateful for. Love it.
