Boobies...

Hey guys...

Just thought I'd put it out there that I'm getting two lumps removed from my right boob which unfortunately is going to inhibit me from performing at Blood Moon... (I'm so bummed about that...) However you may see me there!

The mammogram doesn't show anything, due to my age and breast density however the ultrasound shows a fibrocystic mass and behind that is a tumor... I'm getting them both removed in late Oct. Hopefully after the biopsy they find the tumor to be benign.... Let's cross our fingers...

Why am I telling you this?
Because Amy Sigil convinced me that I have a duty to all women (and she's right) to remind them of how important it is to check your breasts regularly and let your doctor know if something is wrong or feels (even if it's slight) weird.
Do yourself a favor and check now if it's been a while...who cares of you're at the grocery store...just do it! kidding...

If anyone out there has any questions, please feel free to send me a PM. However it may take a while for me to respond because Tribe only lets me log in only once a week if I'm lucky...

Loves,
Fred

    All the best with the surgery, Fred.

    I have someone in my family who is having the same procedure done also in late Oct.

    Ack!

    Aw, Fred. That's terrible. Though I have no way of seeing Bloodmoon in person, I was truly excited about your artistic take on polio. Hopefully El Stupid Tumor is completely benign and you receive a clean bill of health. I'm sending groovy healing vibes to you. Take care and thanks for the reminder that no matter what age, all women need to make sure to do regular examinations.
