I still don't know what I will do, but in the meantime do the self-examination when I remember...
I have to go for a ultrasound and stuff on Thursday for a lump that I found last week......hmmmmmm.......Of course I expect the report to come back as a hormonal cyst

BUT it did get me thinking about what would happen if it was a tumour....... I work in a reasonable high stress job with a boss who is the 'devil in drag'.& involves lot of overseas travel.....i wouldn't want to be expected to conitnue to perform to the level that I have to and be subject to cancer treatment......... so that is making me reassess everything....... which isn't a bad thing ! Makes you appreciate that life is for living
