This morning as I was leaving the aquatic center, a friendly fellow student asked me if I had anything fun planned today. I said I was scheduled for a mammogram but that wouldn't be fun. She said she doesn't get them any more because she's had a mastectomy on both sides.

I may think differently of "shoes" now.
I was waiting in the doctor's lobby for my blood test results awhile back and another patient plopped herself down beside me and casually asked how come I still had hair. I said because I took a very low dose of chemo. She said she'd just come in to schedule her mastectomies reconstructive surgery and found out it was a no go because the cancer had spread to her lymph system! She was in her forties. We shed a few tears together.
