Early Foreshadowing

July 20th, 2006

While installing applications on a new computer, I needed to make sure everything worked okay. So I opened up an old file that uses the application. It turned out to be my January 1995 journal where I had written about finding the lump in my breast that turned out to be a fibroedenoma.

I didn't remember this, but at the time I wrote,

"I think this is a warning of sorts, that I should really think about breast cancer and be aware of how I would deal with it if it did happen. Not that you ever know how you will react, but you can do some sorts of mental preparation. I really think it will happen to either my sister or to me in our lifetimes, and I don't think that's a morbid thought; it's just the way it is."

I don't remember writing that...isn't it kind of spooky? Amazing what we know that we later forget. Maybe this is part of why I'm not so afraid; I've been expecting this for a long time. Huh.
