Get Your Mammogram Ladies...

~Strength For Today~

Are you ever surprised that you made it through a day filled with challenges?

Or maybe it was for a longer period a season or years!

But as the years have come and gone, I can see the hand of God working!

I am not always sure how much we should share on our blogs;

But some things should remain personal!

Being transparent can be a good thing as long as you mix it with

a heavy dash of wisdom!

But if you are a woman and you have gone through the scare of a

Mammogram then this post is for you!

Do you make a point of having a good health screening?

Do you even find the free health screening in your town if,

(You do not have insurance)

They are available, it just takes a bit more effort on your part!

When you have a mammogram and then they give you a call back;

You can be sure they have found something suspicious!

As soon as you hang up the phone;

Fear comes in...

The fear of the unknown

The fear of cancer

The fear of death

Then you need to pull yourself together!

You pray like a woman that is fighting for her very life!

The air feels thick and everything moves in slow motion.

They tell you we have no openings for three weeks for an ultrasound!

WHAT!!

That is, when you practice being your own health advocate!

You ask to speak to the supervisor.

For many years I have gone to a place called Sally Jobe Breast Center,

But I thought that our small town now had a 3D mammogram,

So I went to our local hospital instead!

In my case because of many previous problems;

I should of made the extra effort and went to the same facility!

If I had gone to the Sally Jobe Center,

They would of did the mammogram and if they saw anything they would

of done the ultrasound right away on the same day!

Then, if it looked suspicious they would of done a biopsy!

Then you would of had all the scare and worry in a shorter time span!

Not weeks, and if it would of been cancer, then you would

Be able to be informed about the best places in your state for care!

Now that's what I call good health care for women!

Why are so many ladies think that if they ignore their health

(like no news is good news)

They will be fine?

Ignorance is just so silly!!

Many women are still alive today because of good health screening!

I believe it is just fear when someone does not use the very things God

has put in place to keep you healthy and alive!

I had a dear friend who died of breast cancer and it was so sad!

She was brave and she did have the blessings of being

able to experience remission for a couple years.

I believe it gave her time to live her last and to die in peace!

Do you understand the value of good health screening?

I am counting my blessings, and I never take a good health report for granted!

Thank You Lord!
