Wise words indeed, from Rain! When Marie had a mammogram some 21 years
ago February, a small tumor was detected.
Because of where it was located, no time was lost in excising it, and
when it was found to be one solid mass of malignant
tissue, the oncologist and our Dr who was also there, decided that a
mastectomy was required. So on Feb 14th 21 years ago my bride became a
tad lopsided! SO WHAT! The rest of her is still here, and in 20 more
days we celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary, which would very likely
never occur had that mass proliferated without removal. So, doctors do
NOT know everything, even if some of them think they do. So Helen, just
ignore that Doc of yours. Cool your hot
flashes with cold lemonade and cool your hot mouth with cold milk!
Cheers, old Doug and Marie in BC
