OK OK OK I am finally going to post a new Blog!!! It has been a while. So goes the busy life that I live!!!! As many of you guys know football season was put to a halt abruptly thanks to a lovely broken arm!!! Aaron Broke his arm not playing football (that would have been the best story) no he broke his arm while walking to class. He has been a trooper he was in a full arm cast for 4 weeks (in Arizona in August what torture) he is now in a forearm wet cast for the next three weeks .

I had a breast cancer scare earlier this month! It really makes you reevaluate your life! I was doing a self breast exam (something I unfortunately am not good about doing on a regular basis) and found a large lump on my right breast. I showed my husband because I am also not the best at taking care of myself as many of you know. I needed him to know about it so that I wouldn't put off getting it checked. I told my doctor about it he met me in his office on his day off to do a needle aspiration ( yes it hurt) he told me that if he could aspirate some fluid it would give us a definitive answer that it was not cancer he made two attempts and could not aspirate any fluid. At this point I am scared to death!! he told me that I would need to have a diagnostic mammo and ultrasound to rule out cancer. All I could think about is that 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer, and I wondered to myself if I was that 1 in 8 Luckily the Laura Drier Breast center got me in the very next day!!. Dr,. Mourad had told me that if it was bad news they get the results quickly and if it is good news they take a little longer. So after my exam the tech told me to wait where I was that she needed the doctor to look at it (once again scared to death). I wait approximately 15 minutes and she walks in the room holding a piece of paper and says I have your results ( at this time my heart is in my foot) I look at the paper preparing myself on how I would tell my family That I am that 1 in 8 and I have breast cancer ( remember quick result : Bad ) I looked at the paper twice rereading those wonderful words CANCER FREE!!!!!!! I can now tell you that I will be doing regular monthly breast exams.
