It all started a couple of months ago. I was having some pain in my armpit and my mind started believing I had breast cancer. It also didn't help during this time I watched a movie, Miss You Already, about a mom that dies of breast cancer. It was a horrible and sad movie. I then really couldn't turn my brain off.
I called my health insurance and asked about the coverage for a routine mammo. They cover it 100%. It then became a no brainier for me. I made an appointment with a new doctor. I was a little nervous to look silly. I mean I'm not a hypochondriac, but I wanted to know. Doctors don't recommend mammos until age 35 or 40. My doctor thought it was a little strange. But I stayed firm in getting one ordered for me.
I wanted peace of mind.
I didn't want to live in fear and I was prepared to trust God with either outcome.
The test wasn't as bad as what everyone had always said. I mean was it fun? No. But it also wasn't anything to be scared about. It didn't even hurt. The radiologist said I was in control of how much pressure I could handle.
A few days after the test, I received a call from my doctor's office... CLEAR!
Instant peace of mind. I'm really thankful I went ahead and got the test 5 years early. I have answers now and don't have to worry or let my mind wonder.
So if you're of age or even if you're not and you have questions don't let the fear of looking silly stop you. Plus, if something would have been wrong I would have caught it years early.
Is there something you've been fearing or have been putting off? I want to encourage you to pray, trust, and take any action you can. Taking action to get answers is worth the peace that it brings. Now I'm more fully able to relax and enjoy my family and my health.
All praise to Him who gives me peace and whom I can fully trust in.
