Mammograms are great. They help find cancer in many women. A mammogram was not how I found out I had cancer. My shoulder was how I found out. My shoulder had been hurting for weeks and I finally decided to go to the doctor. While she was examining me, she discovered I had swollen lymph nodes. She sent me for a chest x-ray and a mammogram both showed nothing. The next step was a biopsy on my lymph nodes which tested positive for cancer.
What about the shoulder pain? Completely unrelated. However, as soon as I received the diagnosis, the pain was gone and no doctor could explain it. I have an explanation, divine intervention. If my shoulder had not been hurting, I would not have gone to the doctor and who knows how long until I would have found the cancer. God works in mysterious ways!
Way to listen to your body! Thankful your doctor looked deeper. You're a trooper for sure!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, God was nudging you. I'm so glad you listened ♡
ReplyDeleteThis might be the only time ever that anyone was ever thankful for shoulder pain.
