Feeling very aprehensive, scared and self conscious about posting this photo!
But I'm posting it for a reason....I've had a very anxious week! I went for a routine well-woman check and my doctor found a lump in my breast. I was scared ...very scared!!!
i've gone over and over my life and how the results could change it. I have 2 young kids, would I be around for them? would my husband have to bring them up alone?...you get the picture!!!!!
But today I got good news....great news! Everything is ok!!!! I'm so relieved!!!
I'm hoping by posting this photo...if I get just one woman to check her breasts or make an appointment with her doctor then maybe ...just maybe I have done a little bit to help us beat breast cancer. I really don't want to post this ...but I'm putting my vulnerabilities aside!
Nat first of all, its a beautiful photo.. The light is gorgeous and I think it really addresses your theme with style. Secondly, thank god everything is alright with you x and then lastly, a very powerful and thought provoking message.. Well done. x
Nat, hugs to you for the week you've had - I can only imagine the thoughts racing through your head as you no doubt stared at the ceiling instead of sleeping, and the extra long cuddles you gave your girls. I think this picture is perfect and good on you for posting it! xo
Great photo. They say that during bad times you always think of things most important to you, family is everything and I am sure you are all very relieved. I am also sure your family got a slightly longer hug today. Very happy for you good results
glad things turned out the right way for you, i have had the same scare, and have had a few friends that didn't get the good news, great photo for a great message!
I am so glad everything is OK. Breast cancer is a very real threat to many women and early detection is key. A wonderful shot and quite honestly, rather beautiful.
Thankyou for the lovely pic & posting it, thankyou for the words and your passion and thinking about helping others after the week you have had, and most of all, thankgoodness all is OK. :) x
Thank you so much for posting this. It's a beautiful photo and such an important message to get out there. Very very please you've been given the all clear.
this is marvelous and even better to hear the great news...i had the same scenario 4 years ago and turned out to be great news as well. I am a yearly mammogram checker. i think the picture is beautiful
An absolutely gorgeous photo and such great news. I too found a lump almost a year to the day my mum dies of cancer. Of course I feared the worst having already escaped cancer once, didn't think I could be that lucky again. The waiting is awful but thankfully was just a sneaky little cyst! I saw a tv show once and on it a lady said her husband has bought her some cream to avoid stretch marks while she was pregnant and she religiously applied it to her breasts every night. This made her so familiar with the feel of her breasts when she discovered a tiny lump she immediately knew something wasn't right. The lump turned out to be cancerous but as it was so tiny she managed to have it removed before it caused further harm. She said in effect the tub of cream her husband bought her saved her life!
It is so important for us all to check regularly and well done to you for reminding us to do it! So glad you're ok. I think sometimes these rings are sent to remind us to take stock of what is precious to us and live life to full! :-)
Beautiful picture! My mum is a breast cancer survivor and your post brought lots of memories flooding back. I'm so pleased you've been given the all-clear.
Phew - if ever we need to appreciate the blessings we have this sort of thing does it in spades!! So glad all is well & you've posted a beautiful photo. And I know many breast cancer survivors - several over decades now but I'm sure they would rather not have had the trauma.
Nat! This picture will make women want to go to a plastic surgeon and get boobs like yours! lol
SO HAPPY YOURE FREEEEE AND HEALTHY!!!!!!!
Now, you can reclaim the lost week and live like you've never lived, a big wake up to our mortality!
You are PERFECT and HEALTHY miss Boobula USA! lol
Great photo and so pleased that everything turned out well in the end...such a terrifying thing to confront! Btw - extremely envious of those fab breasts!!
Oh wow!! I am so glad that it was good news Nat! I have yet to get checked as I have breastfed for the last decade lol...I am in my 40's and know that it is a must....beautiful shot:)
Very beautifully done. I'm glad everything worked out well for you, for sure! I've had one in my breast for....about three years now? Not sure. No money to have it checked though :(
@triciaanddazzle OMG Tricia!!!! You have young ones who need you to love and care for them....please borrow $$$ from your parents or a friend to get to the doctor!!! PLEASE!!!
It is so important for us all to check regularly and well done to you for reminding us to do it! So glad you're ok. I think sometimes these rings are sent to remind us to take stock of what is precious to us and live life to full! :-)
SO HAPPY YOURE FREEEEE AND HEALTHY!!!!!!!

It appeared either while I was pregnant or right after I had Dazzling. I'm hoping so anyway.
