The diagnosis

Prominent internet thinker Xeni Jardin blogs her experience getting her first mammogram, ultrasound and, ultimately, diagnosis.

It is powerful stuff.

It is moving.

It has been experienced by many. But few have captured it in words. 

It is something I've experienced only a little part of. I have a couple of odd spots in my breasts. Spots they track. Have tracked for years.

And each time I go for my annual mammogram (this year augmented with an ultrasound) I wonder if these odd harmless spots will stop being so.

So far, so good for me.

If you are heading down this path, I'm guessing Xeni will be blogging it. And here's another resource: Susan Niebur has been blogging her battle for four years. And Laurie Kingston. 

These are women warriors. I hope your admiration will join mine.

Your post has reminded me to talk to my mom who is suffering pain in her left breast. She has not tried mammogram yet. Good post.
