Know your lemons, ladies, and men too.

I found a dimple in my right breast on my birthday, December 21st, 2016. It was suddenly there when I bent over to rinse my hair in the shower. It wasn’t there when I stood up. Bend over, a dimple, stand up straight, nothing.

So I started checking my breasts to see if I could find anything. I couldn’t.

Day one, nothing.

Day two, nothing.

Day three, nothing.

Day eight – a motherfucking mass, the size of a golf ball.

I called my doc.

Christmas holidays so no appointment until January. He sent me straight to the oncologist at Ahus and they found a solid mass, 5 cm across. A week later it had doubled in size. The guy who did the first biopsy said “this doesn’t look good” and I thought no shit, Sherlock.

So…

Even if you no longer like your tits, and think they’re droopy and not as perky as they used to be – know what they feel and look like cos it might save your life.

My right breast became a really lovely perky tit – a tumour the size of a 10 cm unripe orange will do that to you.

So – know your lemons. It’s a pretty awesome site, too.
