On Oct.29th 2011, one month before my 45th bithday I was told I have breast cancer. This is part of my journey . I am writing as a therapeutic tool in my fight . It helps me let go of some emotional stuff and along the way I hope it helps someone else as well .

The lump
Not sure what I am doing here (blogging ) but I figure I am going to have sometime at home without having to work . I found a lump in my left breast end of sept. I work in a remote camp in the artic and was about to leave in a few days for my routine flights to work ,found the lump showering and figured I would still make the trip to work and in 3 weeks time I would deal with it when I got back home . Honestly I figured I would have my routine cycle and the thing would just dissapear . No such luck , returned home from up north and decided I'd better go get this thing checked as I was only home for 3 weeks as I work away 3 weeks and home 3 weeks . Doctors on tues , mammogram and ultra sound wed , biopsy on thurs. wow things are moving fast but I guess that is a good thing when dealing with the possiblity of a monster growing inside you ...that's what i've been calling it the monster ,
