added a status update
This is not book related. Apart from to let my friends know why I’ve been hit and miss on here recently. And will continue to be so for some time.
I’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a clear mammogram just 9 months ago.
I wasn’t sure about posting this but it may help someone. It may seem naive but I’d no idea it could grow so quickly.
Please keep vigilant and check. I’ve caught mine early.

I’m so sorry, Deb! But I’m glad it was caught early that makes so much of a difference. My mother has been cancer free for more than 10 years now and like you her’s was also caught early. I’ll keep you in my prayers and hope your treatment goes well.🙏🏼 Take care of you. Sending you lots of hugs. ❤️❤️

Oh Deb! You are in my thoughts! I am wishing you all the strength and courage to get through this. It's not naive. I had no idea either. Especially after a fairly recent mammogram?! Thank you for sharing this important information! ❤❤❤❤

I read an article saying that cancer takes 2-5 years to form a lump you can feel. Apparently it can be 3-5 months. 🤷🏻♀️

I need to isolate for 2 weeks before the op. My daughter lives at home and works in care. She’s tested weekly but isn’t going to be able to work and live here 🤷🏻♀️

I'll be thinking of you. ❤️
Really sorry to hear this, Deb. I'm both glad and relieved that you caught it early. Thank you for sharing this difficult news to give us the heads up and also in hopes of helping/reminding us all to stay vigilant when it comes to our self-care and awareness. I'm putting the good thoughts and healing energies out there for you. 🤞💕🤞

You’re right 2020 is turning out to be a nightmare 🤷🏻♀️

I’m so sorry to hear that :(Sending you good vibes and keeping you in my prayers 🙏
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Deborah ❤️

I'd always thought passing yearly mammograms (even tho' the USA guidelines have changed to being less often for 'lower risk' women) meant I was free-n-clear. It's a good message you're sending, H -- never assume and listen to your body.
I know you also thought like I did -- that a lump that's painful isn't anything to worry about. That it's a cyst only. I was told that by a nurse practitioner once! Nope, not true at all!!
Sooooo glad you went to get yourself checked out. I don't know what I'd do without you xoxoxoxo
I'm so glad you caught it early Deb. So often that in and of itself makes the biggest difference. And yeah, always listen to your body, it knows what's up. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, just focus on taking care of yourself.
