Discovery

In the woods, in a tent
lump found by me


We were camping in the Blackwoods campground in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine when I discovered the lump in my right breast while relaxing in our tent. I felt a small nodular thing that I hadn’t noticed before and underneath it a larger thicker mass. Shit. I knew I better get it checked.

The next day, there was a point when the Tulip had complained of pain in her chest when we were playing around in the camp. Later that night when she & I went to the nightly ranger show, she complained again of chest pain. I took her to the ranger station and they recommend that we take her to the emergency room in Bar Harbor. We did.


She checked out fine. While we were there I considered asking for emergency mammogram. I didn’t.
