I don’t know how many of my original readers still come here. But those who do may recall a day in March when everything changed.

Nick called. He had cancer.

Yesterday I came home from having blood work done at my doctor and my mom was puttering around the kitchen and said that two calls came in while I was gone. One was irrelevant.

The other:

“Image Care called and they want me to come in tomorrow to have an ultrasound of a spot on my right breast.”

Dear readers. There was suddenly a cold feeling in my stomach.

I drove her here. She put on her masks and went in. Silent. Scared.

And I am left here with you.

It’s time. If you haven’t already seen your doctor or nurse and been examined professionally, PLEASE do so. And continue to do so regularly. As someone whose immediate family has been touched by breast cancer (mother and sister), I know the importance of everyone getting their checkup. Early detection saves lives.

Pausing because there is a Doctor in the House! It's encouraging, empowering and engaging!

There are many women like me who prefer a female OB/GYN. My reason though it is humorous now, was not funny back then. My story begins with, years ago when I was a KIDS Church leader, it was time for my annual check-up and so off to the doctors I went . After completing the check-in ritual, I was shown to the examination room and I waited patiently for my doctor to come in. A few minutes later,…
