Having lost both breasts (one was misdiagnosed as cancer) 4 yrs. later the other was a proven cancer-I want to remind women that BC does not always present with a palpable lump. Mamography pinpointed the cancer. My other warning: _Always_ get a second opinion. The jerk that took my non cancerous breast off was head of surgical oncology at Vassar Bros. Hospital in NY.

after reading this thread , I am filled with admiration for the women who have borne such trials and tribulations with fortitude, but I cannot help thinking of, and maybe understanding a little better, the traditional benediction which all male Jews are required to recite each morning:

"Blessed art Thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast not made me a woman"

update from 16 July:
Saw the doc this morning. He assured me I've no need for a smear as my hysterectomy was for fibroids, my cervix was removed and I had had no previous 'abnormal' results.
I will be on the mamogram list now I've reached 50...and, while I was there, the doc checked my blood pressure and lungs (I sounded rather husky after a weekend singing so he took an opportunity to listen in).

I feel much better already....but I've make a mental note to look after myself a bit more - 'cos I'm worth it'... !

Keep healthy out there.
Lots of love, Hazel xx
