FY recently found 5 lumps in her breast, and when I read about them on her blog, I was really quite taken aback. Thoughts that ran through my mind: should I call her? But maybe she doesn't want to be disturbed cos she's anxious enough already... so I thought I'd send her an SMS. What a relief it was to know, a few days later (actually just earlier in the day), that they were non-malignant. Yes, she can live and she can watch her son grow. This is my friend from sec sch, who is the same age as me this year - 29.
That night when I had read her blog, I started going through my list of good friends, and wondering what I would do if they died. And I couldn't sleep. I logged online, found Mich (yes dear old Mich whom I can trust to be online at that time of the night), and asked her how many people she knew had women's problems. I mean, a few people I know around my age have fibroids, funny hormonal issues and now, breast lumps. And I told Mich, in jest, I felt left out. She immediately berated me and said I was to celebrate my health. And I really agree.
For 2009, I am going to be healthy. By effort.
- I am going to continue to take good care of my neck and back.
- I am going to eat more fruits and vegetables. This means at least one fruit every morning for breakfast.
- I am going to make sure I swim every Monday. And if I can, briskwalk every Sunday.
- I am NOT going to let work take control of me. It's my life that I'm living.
I really really want to celebrate my health.
