It all started with a letter I nearly tossed aside: “Suspicious findings on your mammogram. Return for more imaging.” I hesitated. Then—out of the blue—my nephew called. We hadn’t spoken in a while, but he happened to mention that my estranged sister had just undergone a double mastectomy after her cancer returned. The timing hit like lightning. Suddenly, that letter was no longer optional. I called for the follow-up. “Next available is in six weeks,” they said. Six weeks of waiting. Six weeks of imagining every worst-case scenario!
