26: Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I am 53 years young! Developing breast as a teenager I do not remember thinking I want to be large busted…..they just grew…..I had no choice! I have my  dads side of the family to thank for being well endowed, for the most part the Quezada women are large busted.

This summer will mark 17 years as a Mammographer, and when I started my career in Mammography, I never thought that one day I would be walking in the shoes of so many patients that have crossed my path. In three days I will be having my left breast removed. Patients this week when I would mention it, where in awe at how well I am handling the up coming surgery. I know I will be fine. I have a great doctor, and the love and support of my family and friends. I have had patients cry for me, I would console them and tell them not to cry for me that I would be fine. I have had patients say a quick prayer after their mammogram was done, and yesterday prayed with one of my co-workers. And I know that I have many people praying for me and wishing me well.

Today my  day will start early with breakfast at  Jax and Sean’s condo, followed by a massage and pedicure treatment at The Andaz Hotel. Will more then likely indulge with lunch at The Andaz as well! Throw in a little retail therapy and later in the evening my daughter Monique will arrive on island and we will have drinks and desert at one of my favorite restaurants”Monkey Pod”.

Dear Left Breast,

Thank for serving your purpose,  you nursed three healthy children. You’ve turned heads when I was younger and in my prime, well I’m not done living! In three days you will be removed from my body and that is ok. You do not define who I am as a women, and because you have decided to go rouge on me you must go!

So, nice try……………..you lose………………..I WIN !!!!!!!!!
