The day I found the lump

It was on Wed, May 9th, 2007 when I found the lump in my left breast. It was after 9:00 pm when I was in the shower and felt the lump that would make my life turn upside down. That night I felt something terribly wrong and had the feeling it was breast cancer. My kids were asleep and my husband was on the computer when I ran downstairs and told him about the lump. He told me not to worry and that it was probably benign. He began to research on the computer to see what we should look for. It felt smooth and round to both of us and seemed to move. It also had some pain and cancer wasn't supposed to have those characteristics. I still felt something was not right and I ran into the bathroom and started to cry. I was thinking to myself that I just turned 34 not even a couple weeks ago on April 21st. How could I even have breast cancer this young? My youngest son is only 20 months and my oldest is almost 3 1/2 years old. My two little boys were the first thought going through my head. How could this possibly be cancer? I have my whole life ahead of me to take care of these precious boys. How could these even be possible? No one in my family for generations even had breast cancer. I fell to the floor and said to myself please let this not be cancer. This couldn't happen to me. The very next day I called my OBGYN and made an appointment for Friday morning.
