Today My Aunt Sue had her operation to remove a cancerous growth from her breast. Luckily, the surgery itself went fine and they will soon know how successful the procedure itself was. My grandmother and I urged my mother to also have a mammogram done as a safety precaution since several of my family members have battled cancer in the past.
I am feeling slightly burdened and isolated. In a sense, I want to avoid all human contact, be left alone and just hide my face in a pillow for awhile. On the other hand, I feel pangs of loneliness tugging at me, reminding me I am already quite isolated. I hate irony.
