Cake to cure all one's worries.I absolutely dread my yearly checkups. So much that I'd rather get Brazilian Wax than a Pap Smear.
So not surprisingly, I'd skipped two years and finally dragged my feet to the doctor today. Only because my hypochondria has gotten the better of me and I finally started getting paranoid about my pelvic health.
Now, I can truly say that I'm quite lucky with my doctor. She is beyond FAB. No, seriously, she looks like a former fashion model of sorts. She manages to talk you through the weirdest of tests with lively banter and panache.
During this squirmish afternoon, she also happened to find a small lump on my chest. Yikes! No amount of chirpy chit-chat over Brazilians and New York minutes can beat the shock value of being told that.
I know in movies and TV series the character deals with a health scare like this. Contemplates her life. Weighs the what-ifs and whatevers. Cue: light bulb moment. Turns out to be okay. Moves forward, and on with her life.
Me, I know I'm going to be okay... I hope. I'm a little bit scared, only because this is the expected emotion for this particular bit of news. But I really, really hope and pray that life will imitate art, and by my next post I'll be saying, "It's all good."
Watch this space.

Ah, I know what you mean, my mother has to drag me kicking and screaming to such yearly doctor's appointments! But aw, but the praying the lump she found is nothing to worry about! <3

Hi, S-C!
Aww, thanks for the sweet comment and prayer :) Yeah, it's weird because I feel kinda blank about it. Maybe it's one of those 'first stage: denial' things haha. I'll drop by your blog in a bit.
Take care,
Mariel
O: I hope it isn't anything serious.
I love you, Mariel! I'm sending all my strength and luck to you and knocking down the doors of Heaven for your good health!
Hey, I completely sympathize. My doctor found a lump on my breast too, but it turned out to be benign. I was a little shaken up by the incident. Seems like getting random bumps is a part of being a woman. A shitty part of being a woman.
Neighbor! Love you lots too. Thanks for praying for me, and it means a lot because I know you're malakas kay God :) Yehey!
Hi, Paperface, nice to 'meet' you here, thanks for dropping by and sympathizing :) I know, I am so bogged down by this that I've already subconsciously attracted a mini-cold, blech!
So when are we going out again??? Let's eat red velvet cake!
This is Frances, btw =D
Ooh! Neighbor, galing, new blog :) The template is really nice. I was just thinking about you earlier because the other day I saw the 10.1" version of the HP Mini matte silver netbook I saw way back, and didn't want to get because it had thick black bars(which turned out to be speakers) framing the screen of the older model. But now the new version is exactly what I had in mind before so I'm totally having new netbook cravings hahaha.
Yes, red velvet cake it is! When oh when...
