Have you done your annual mammogram check? I did mine a few days ago and for those who are scared not to worry, the pain is bearable and in all it takes a few minutes only. And unfortunately not only old women are diagnosed with breast cancer, young women too and even men. Click below to read more at the breast cancer site and while you are there help fund a mammogram for free.
I am more terrified of pap smear test even though my gynaecologist is actually a sweet angel in disguise. I’m supposed to get the test done this June and I’m expecting her nurse to ring me anytime to arrange for my appointment. I wish they have lost my contact number but I know they are an efficient lot.
I have not been blogging regularly due to commitments and also the fact that both of my kids pc are down and so my laptop is everyone’s target. My personal IT technician is my nephew, an IT student who recently won a Lee Kuan Yew Technology Award for creating application to allow more features to be added to bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. Currently he is very busy with job attachment and hoping to come by this weekend to repair the pcs. Kudos to you Zaid for your achievement.
I have not done any sewing recently but I have a list to do. I need a new apron, a bag for my library books and new covers for my kitchen gadgets. I have quite a number of orders for beaded items and not coping too well with such little time.
Thank you all my on-line and off-line friends for your kind wishes on my recent bereavement. Until next time, take care all of you.

Thank for this post- what a great reminder!
I am helping to launch another site that is helping to fund mammograms. We are trying to harness the buying power of American consumers, and put it toward a great cause.

I’m happy to see you back here, Fatiah. May is terrible month generally, because there are tooooo much things to do. Hope you are more free in the next too hot period.
You are so brave to control your health. I never do it. First to not ask money, but then I feel good when I don’t know what precisely is there inside. If I had to begin with doctors, it would never finish. Exams, medicines… And so I have happy life -without thoughts about meditians. :)))
You are affected me with hand-made jewelry. Now I only think about to do something more. Maybe I’ll be able to show you how I decided to re-make my old necklace in the next days. We finished filly with cherries and now I’m (almost) free woman!

Mammograms are so very important. My sister recently had one done and due to that mammogram, the doctor was able to detect a very small lump. She’s still going for testing on that but it appears to be nothing more than a calcification.

Hi Lynne. At least the mammograms help to keep our mind at peace from the breast cancer fear. I witnessed a friend who quickly deteriorated in health after daignosed with breast cancer and passed away barely less than a year after discovery,leaving behind small kids. She was only in her 30s.My cousin is suffering now and surviving with chemo treatments. probably early detection would have helped in most cases.
