On May 11, 2007, while drying off after a shower, my left hand landed on a very hard mass directly above my right nipple. It was unlike anything I'd felt before. I immediately had a sinking feeling and thought, This is not good. I need to get checked out ASAP! At the time, I didn't have a regular ob-gyn, so I had to wait until the next month to see a new doctor and schedule a mammogram. I purchased these beautiful earrings to help get my mind off of things.
