A Bend in the Road

On September 10th, 2008, I went for a routine mammogram. I returned for additional mammograms and ultrasound on Friday, September 19th. The radiologist seemed sure the lump that was there wasn't cancerous, but recommended a biopsy to be sure. September 25th was the day of the biopsy. It took longer than expected, but was overall uneventful. Then, Monday, September 29th I learned I have stage 1 breast cancer. This, Lord willing, will be my story.
