squeeze your lemons for signs of breast cancer


lemonland :: time to squeeze your lemons or someone's you love!
in the tub, in bed, on the couch, check for signs of breast cancer.
i finally had a normal blood pressure this week for the 1st time in a year.
a few weeks ago, i had a breast cancer scare in my remainining breast.
my oncologist referred me for a mammogram, ultrasound + mri.
i was unnerved + tried not to think of facing another mastectomy + chemo + radiation, but tried to tell myself not to be surprised because my cancer is an aggressive type + likely to recur. i was freaked out, but what a relief when the tests came back, no evidence of disease! i can concentrate on my daughter's upcoming birthday + mother's day giveaways + blogroll :)
i try to "celebrate the temporary" + not wait for tomorrow, live today!
