The Business About My Breasts - Forbes

You should read this. For real:
I’m at Costco when the call comes the next day. The call was supposed to come between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., but the call comes at 2 p.m., so as soon as I look at the phone, I know something’s wrong. The radiologist asks if this is a good time to talk. I look around. I’m in a Costco. What am I supposed to say?No, let’s talk when I’m at McDonald’s. Or, How about you call me back in a week? Or, If it’s possible to not have this call at all, that will be preferable. Instead, I tell her, Yes, now is a good time to talk.
Are you sitting down? the radiologist asks.
I consider there are a variety of things you don’t want a doctor to say, and Are you sitting down? is one of them. I am not sitting down. I am standing near 50-pound bags of dog food. I brace myself against one of the Costco-sized bags of dog food, and tell the doctor to tell me what she has to say.
I don’t remember exactly what she says. The basic idea is, You have breast cancer.
