Patricia, I was making a feeble attempt at a pun. "Moondoggie" was a character in a 1950s surfer movie, and the dog in the photo was "mooning" the camera.

Ugh.

Thanks, Joan, for your wonderful attitude even when you tell bad news - you make me so glad!

I was very diligent about having the mammos done which is why it was caught early. Now of course since the cancer, I have to have the diagnostic mammos every year without fail & I make sure it's done every May, with no delays.

Patricia, I am so glad you found yours early! That makes all the difference in the world. My doctor and I had a discussion of what would have been the outcome for my mother's generation and my grandmothers'. He said it would not have been detected until a lump had formed and it would be much more difficult to conquer.

Steph, the procedure used to hurt like the devil. Cruelty and torture. Now, with new technology, it is virtually painless. Not even uncomfortable. The biopsy was painless too; it hurt less than my diabetes pricks that I do routinely on my fingers. 

You go girl!

Ruth, we started out as a group of women who shared a common feeling the church abandoned us and we felt a need for ritual and spirituality. Starting with two of us, it quickly grew to a dozen. Since we meet in our homes, a dozen was just too big, so we split, and we grew, and split again, and repeated and repeated until we had little groups of six all over the city. The group I am in was much more interested in economics and politics than ritual, so we became an activist group and eventually became some form of atheists.

Yes Patricia I plan on calling and making an appointment soon. I really need to get a check up.

Your Wise Women group sounds great, Joan. I'm not familiar with this. It sounds Pagan.

Never put it off Steph! None of us like going.

Mammo found mine as it never would have been felt until far too late, if at all. I had 2 very aggressive cancers, down deep next to my chest wall, but at least they were still stage one.
