Happy Birthday to Me!

mammogram-300a061909

Tomorrow is my birthday, and today I had a mammogram that looked perfectly pretty. The technician who delivered my results sang “Happy Birthday” to me, and I must say it feels pretty good to have almost reached the age of 39 when at the age of 34, I wasn’t so sure I’d live very long at all. Time to celebrate — should have kept that party dress I’m wearing in the photo above!

    Congrats on your “pretty” mammo :)

  4. I’m glad your mammo was clean! So was my boyfriend’s prostate biopsy.
    Now I am sending healthy vibes to my best friend who is also a breast cancer survivor. She has to have a uteran biopsy tomorrow.

    I wish you could understand Portuguese, so that I could express all the good things i wish for you. Most of all I wish you a long life. You deserve the gift of seeing your children graduating, marrying, having their own children. This last part is the part I shoul already be wainting for, but I am not,,, It will take a few months till my daughter in law can get pregnant. last year, when I was startinh my way with my breast cancer I asked the doctor if it woul be possible to live long enough to know a grandchild. he granted me so:) Happy birthday!

    Being a radiologist, I deliver good news and bads news a lot. To me, as a human, I have a profound empathy for people especially the ones who have to hear the bad news. But for me, it is just another day at the office. For my patients, it is a life changing event in their lives. Seeing you, in the goofy gown shooting a picture of yourself in the mirror with an iphone made this very poignant for me.
