An apple a day does not keep the doctor away!

These past few months have been extremely frusterating! The month of March especially. It is the time of my annual exams. Luckily because of new rules I do not need a pap smear for another three years so I had that going for me.
     Every year the doctors panic about the lumps in my breast. Both my mother and my aunt had breast cancer before menopause. I have prolific breast disease so I am watched very carefully. It is still nerve wracking when you have tests after test because the mammogram did not clear out breast cancer.
     I also have a hiatal hernia so I needed tests to rule out surgery. I now have nodes in my thyroid and my surgeon believes it is the beginning of hashimoto's thyroiditis. An autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid.
     I also had my IUD removed so I had a period for the first time in 8 years luckily the PMS did not build up through the years and my husband did not suffer much.
    It is now the beginning of May and I am not done with doctors appointments. I am afraid to make an eye appointment in case I will need further testing as well.
