I remember it all too well...

Sitting in the tiny office with the woman across from me explaining they found something on my Mammogram.

She told me, the next thing we have to do is....

I completely glossed over and didn't receive one word that was leaving her lips. With tears burning hot at the back of my eyes I asked her to please repeat everything she just said.

 

I learned two things in that moment.

1 - NEVER go to a screening appointment alone 

2 - Always bring paper and a pen. 

​

I was gutted.

I called my friend and we cried hysterically.
Time stood still, I had no idea what the future would look like. All the questions started swirling around my mind...

Is this cancer? How do I stay healthy? What are my options? Do I go on my trip next week?

A few weeks later, as I began to heal from my lumpectomy, I vowed to never be in this position again. I researched, started practicing yoga and committed to a no fail plan to reduce my risk factors naturally.
