5 years ago today I had the mammogram that saved my life.
Couldn’t feel it even though they said it had been growing for 6-8 years. But
the mammogram found it. I looked at the images before I left and I said to the
tech, oh that doesn’t look good. She said they would call me if it was
something and I got the call a few days later.
For some people this is a life changing experience but I was
lucky. For me thankfully it was more one of those little bumps in life we all
get. A touch scary but eventually over other than the drugs.
But last night it interrupted my sleep. There’s such a fuss
made over the 5 year mark and even though I haven’t quite made it there, it
will be here soon. My hope is that I’ll be able to stop the nasty drugs and
then I won’t have the daily reminder.
But I’ll always remember the day it all started because it
was my birthday present 5 years ago. Even though the spot I saw on the images
wasn’t actually where the cancer was…

The world is a better place with Bonnie in it, and I'm so glad you've made the mark! Hugs, girlfriend!
I have been putting off my mammogram... I just made the appointment. So glad your story is what it is!
I'm glad you've made the mark, and hope that the drugs can be finished. I agree with Luann. May the next five be drug free!
I hope that the next five years will be drug free, and am glad you made that mark. I agree with Luann!

oops Bonnie-I thought that I was getting the code wrong. Sorry for the multiples!
Thank you for your openness in sharing this, Bonnie. Here's to the next five times five.
