God removed the lump in my breast  

I never thought I would be one of those women – the ones who find a lump in their breast and face the uncertainty that follows. You hear the stories, but they always feel distant until they become your own. At first, I ignored it. For months, I carried that lump, brushing off its presence as if acknowledging it would make it real. But then it became painful, and I could no longer pretend it wasn’t there. I was 23, still living at home with my family, including my mother – a former nurse – and I hesitated to tell her, afraid of the reaction, but the night before we left for a week-long holiday, I finally did. That holiday became one of the longest weeks of my life. My mother, ever the medical professional, was concerned, which in turn made me anxious.
