Palpación. Revisiones. Mamografía.
Si seguimos esos tres primeros pasos, quizás nos evitemos los demás: Detección. Biopsia.
Operación. Analítica. Quimioterapia. Radioterapia.
Controles. TACs. Inyecciones. Pastillas.
El cáncer de mama tiene cura en más de un 75% de los casos. Y, en un futuro no muy lejano, en todos.

Updating and rebirthing
this is my second birthday
like a new born baby
I have no hair I am bald
surprisingly nice, but hard.
I am strong I will recover.
By April chemo will end up
Then radiotherapy for a time .
Life will continue its path.
After four months of going to hospitals and seeing doctors, Sarah was used to waiting. There ,in the basement, in front of the radiologist´s consult and reading a new book, she was calm. Two hours later, the nurse called her name. An intuitive person, Sarah felt totally at home as soon as she entered. There was something in the blue eyes of the doctor that made her feel relaxed. He started talking and asking questions and Sarah thought inmediately she could trust him. So she asked to be told the truth in case he sees anything wrong in the screen. He did: there were three cysts in her liver. Sarah cried and the doctor got so nervous he spoke nonsense and jokes. They both laughed so loud the nurse popped in to check what was going on. A huge embrace and Sarah left the room as happy as if she had some good news.
That man in his fifties, grey haired and funny, had magic. She spent two weeks thinking of him and when she received a telegram saying she needed a biopsy , Sarah jumped with the idea of being with that angel again. The date was on 28th ,December´s Fools´Day. Sarah knew the universe had a surprise for her.

I have just received
some (other) bad news today:
the liver is also touched.
What else is left?
the head, the heart,
the lungs, the bones?.
I cannot stand this
non stop anymore:
good news, bad news
bad news,good news.
Patience my patient
live(r) on uncertainty.

Impatience, calm down
Wake Fury to create.
Fears, walk away .
Within the realms of time
Flow, be brave.
Courage, cuddle me
Embrace Strength .
Confidence, nurture inner self.
Within the realms of time
Flow, keep pace.

Then,one day,acceptance:

There´s sunshine and rainbow

Without knowing why
you come back
to normal this time.

Enero.Llueve y hace frío.Lola tiene la mañana libre,hoy va de tardes.Sale a comprar el pan y el periódico,y a disfrutar de la lluvia.Al llegar a la plaza,un autobús con una estrella pintada en ambos laterales ocupa todo el espacio.Curiosa,sube y pregunta.Es una unidad móvil.Solicita ser atendida:tiene 42 años y nunca se ha hecho una mamografía.
Veinte días más tarde recibe una carta.Ha de repetir la prueba.Asustada,acude puntual a la cita.Allí confirman lo que tanto teme:tiene cáncer de mama.Llora incontenible .Pero sabe también que el autobús de la estrella le ha salvado la vida.
