" PAY IT FORWARD"
Today I had a special experience. I guess for me it made me realize why I am still here on the forum..
I had an appointment at our local hospital for my yearly mammogram. As I was waiting to be called another younger lady came in, she is 52. We both went back together and sat in a little room waiting for our exam. Of course first we changed into the fabulous gown. We exchanged the usual Hi, isn’t fun, can’t wait to get out of here…I was called in, had my exam, came out , she was still sitting there.I could see her eyes were teared, it was obvious she was concerned. She then went in , came out and sat beside me. I had to wait to see if I needed a sonogram after the test was read. I did not have to have further testing. As I sat there she went in for a second pictue taking process. I waited with her as we got into a conversation out breast cancer and other medical conditions involving cancer, so I blurted it all out about Gene. and how it is one year this month that he had symptoms, I then proceeded to tell here all is good and outcome can be as well for her with a positive attitude and family support. I felt a connection to this girl, Becky, I made her laugh and I lightened the mood. The nurse came out and said she had to go to a different part of the hospital for another test. As we both got up I gave her a big hug and said Becky you will be fine, she hugged me back with great intensity tears running down her face. At this point I thought of myself last year after getting our news, and how I too cried. But today it was about Becky, if I was in any way a angel for her I am glad. So if an opportunity arises for others on this forum to be an angel take advantage of it as it is a good feeling to help others. Today I hope I helped Becky!!!! PAY IT FORWARD!!!!!! Ginger Beane
