I decided to start this blog to document my journey through what may be thought to be " the valley of the shadow of death"
I went for a regular breast screening on 11 May 2017 because I had a feeling I should ( oh and also because I didn't have one for close on eight years I think). Not that I was feeling unwell or anything. Not even because I felt a lump in my breast. Just because I had a feeling I should.
Then I received a letter dated 25 May 2017 from the National Cancer Centre Singapore ( NCSS) asking me to make an appointment for further investigations as the mammogram " revealed some changes" that warranted these " further investigations". So I dutifully complied and was given an appointment on 7 June 2017. After a mammogram and ultrasound were done I was told that a biopsy was needed and thta was done in the afternoon of the same day. I was told that the mammogram done on 11 May 2017 showed a mass fairly deep in the centre of the right breast and the ultrasound that morning showed another mass looking rather like a lake nearer the surface. They explained that they'll do biopsies on both. Appt fixed on Wed 21 June for outcome.
On Sat 17 June the NCSS called to ask me to go on Monday 19 June at 8 am for biopsies on left breast just to be on the safe side.
