Thursday, October 19, 2006 was no different than most days. I got in bed that night and did a breast self-exam, which I've always done about every 2 weeks for years. I've always had large breasts full of little fibroid cysts, so OB/GYNs have always advised me to do self-exams. But that night was different than all the exams prior. That night I found this huge mass in my right breast. At first I thought I must have hurt myself and wondered how in the world I didn't remember the assault that would have caused this swelled up place. Then I remember thinking that surely I was just wrong and made the familiar circle motion again with my fingers. No doubt about it, something was definitely there. When David came to bed, I asked him to feel of it. He did and said if I thought it was something, to go see my doctor. And we both read a while and then went to sleep.
That weekend we went to Kyle to watch our grandson, Nikita, play soccer. He scored 3 goals! Tony was his coach. Tony borrowed a smoker from some friends, and smoked some brisket, ribs and pork tenderloin. YUM!!! Kelly & Tami and the girls came up from San Antonio Saturday to watch the game and to eat, too. It was a fun, food-filled day. We came back home to Rowlett Sunday night.
Neither David or me talked about the mass coming home and didn't say anything to the kids because, well, because we were sure it was nothing. I had had a clean pap test and a clean mammogram on 5-2-06 and this was only October.
