On New Years Eve they showed the typical shows rounding up the highlights, and I guess the lowlights, of the year that was. The kids and hubby couldn’t understand why I was upset after they showed photos of Jane McGrath and Kerryn McCann, both of whom lost their battle with breast cancer during 2008. They both leave behind husbands and young kids, and the thought of their kids growing up without their Mums just strikes at my heart.

Then I spoke to a friend on the phone and she mentioned 2 of her co-workers were battling breast cancer.

Apparently I went to bed with this all still going through my mind. I had the most realistic dream I have had for years, if not ever.

In the dream I went for a biopsy to check masses that had shown up during previous testing. The pain in my right breast from the biopsy during the dream was so real I can still almost feel it. I remember knowing I was dreaming but still being curled up in bed in the foetal position and in pain.

I then had to go to the Doctor to get the results of the biopsy and work out what the plan was, if any. She told me to go straight down to physio and organise a pair of crutches because I was going to be so sick from it all that I would need them (I fail to see the logic there, but I was dreaming so who am I to argue……)

What has me freaked out is how real it seemed, despite the fact that at the time I knew I was dreaming, and the pain that I felt from the “biopsy”.

Needless to say, I will be off to the Doctors early next week for referrals or whatever I need to get this checked out, if nothing else to put my mind at rest.

I hope that it all turns out to be a dream and nothing more. With no family history of breast cancer and my age being on the low side of the risk factors, everything should be ok, I just need to know for sure. I will let you all know once I have been to get everything checked out.

Bloody good way to freak yourself out for the beginning of a New Year huh????
