Lump Scare
20 January 2009
No CommentThere was a cyst growth on my chest for a couple of months and about a week before I left for my holidays to Western Australia, the small growth that was only 0.5 cm in size suddenly grew to 2 cm big.
I had wanted to see a doctor before I left for my vacation but worried that I might need to be hospitalized for the operation and decided to do it after my vacation.
While I was having my vacation, the lump grew even bigger and I started having scary thoughts that the lump may be malignant.
I have always been telling my female friends to conduct regular breast self examination and here with this lump, I was so afraid that the lump might be cancerous.
However, my Mum told me that I need not be afraid if the lump is painful as the chances of it being a malignant lump is low.
Thinking about it, I am quite thankful to have been consistently having:
- High intake of antioxidants
- Balance of body’s alkaline and acid level
- High intake of fiber
- Regular intake of vitamins and minerals
Though the above things I am taking cannot guarantee my guarantee prevention of getting cancer lumps, I know that my risk will be reduced and at the same time, the chances of recovering will be much faster.
Don’t wait till it is too late to start working on improving your health. Start doing something now. Trust me, you do not want to be scaring yourself when you notice anything unusual with your body.
Have your say!
