Dear Europa,

Been there, done that. That first test after treatment flattened me. I felt that making appointments for the next week would be tempting fate. I totally went to pieces. It was almost anticlimactic when I got the results: Everything's fine.

I had this wonderful tech for the mammo who showed me on the screen what she was seeing, which was all normal, then she went to show the images to the doc, who looked at them straight away and declared that there was nothing to worry about. Then she came back and said: I'm not allowed to tell you that the doctor said everything is fine, so I never said this.

I almost hugged her. She said: I know what it's like, the first time.

I wish you great techs and wonderful docs.

Love

Jacqueline
