I Will Never Stop Smiling!

Posted by Kopite Girl , 20 November 2008 · 43 views

So.

Goes to Northampton General earlier today into Integrated Surgery. Found a lump in my breast three months ago, to which I've had scans and ultrasounds for.

I'm quite a modest person, and nothing really makes me shy. Taking off my top for a doctor doesn't make me shy in the latest to which he said most women get very embarrassed. I just said to him that he's there to do a job and why should that make me feel embarrassed?

So, after having another scan, ultrasound and mammogram. They shocked me into having a biopsy. I almost freaked out. Needles terrify me. Local anaesthetic, and this humongous looking box thing. I'm still sore now, obviously and will be for the next few days.

But I tell you what. Those guys are the most professional guys in the world. They are very caring and very very dedicated to their patients. The nurses are absolutely without a doubt the kindest people you will ever care to meet.

Anyhow, I will be told my results in two weeks. And do you know what? Now that I know if it is anything less desirable (so to speak) I will be in the care of perhaps the greatest team of people in the world. I have absolutely no worries whatsoever, there are so many options these days and the treatments are 100% modern. I've just witnessed my boyfriends grandmother (at the age of 76) beat bowel cancer. If she can do it, so can I.

I will never stop smiling, and I never want the people closest to me to stop either.

Besides - if it is cancer - I have always wanted to cut off all my hair, just never had the guts... ;) Cheaper than going to the hairdressers!!!




I have no problem taking my shirt off in front of the doctor either :D

Anyway, best of luck, Steph.  Hopefully it isn't anything bad, and if it is, you've got the right attitude.  Bitch slapping is clearly a talent of your's, so you know what to do if it's "less desirable."

Yes, all the best, Steph.  My mum developed cancer and came through just fine in the end - she's been completely clear of it now for about 5 years.  I was worried for her to start with but the treatment was painless and very effective.

Unfortunately I'm not so brave.  Recently I had to have a simple blood test... and I fainted.  In retrospect it was worth it because the nurses were stunningly beautiful and they struggled valiantly to lift me onto the bed  - I wasn't in the mood to help them too much - and fed me drinks and sweets until I 'recovered'.

Hope your results are all clear, but either way there are lots of treatments available if you need them.  Very best wishes! :)

Thanks you guys. If it is, I'm gonna bitchslap the ****er like Eric said! But I think thats a really sweet story Graham, you are man enough to admit it bless you - I think thats most males' dream to have stunning nurses tripping over themselves to make you feel all better! And your mum is lucky to have a son that cares.

Best of luck Steph! Keep thinking of Torres scoring all the goals for Liverpool this year & you'll be fine!

All the best Steph! Nothing much to add to what they said, I'm sure you'll be all right!

And Murray, that's what would happen to me too probably, or at least the first and last time I remember having blood tests (I was 8) I felt horrible the whole day and when I arrived home I just collapsed on the first bed I found. Ugh... never again, ¿please?

I've experienced this disease in my family too.My mum had cancer about 4 years ago and although it was a hard experience,she's completely recovered and she's better than ever! I'm very proud of her because she was as brave as you from the very first moment :)
