In December, right before Christmas, I discovered a lump in the right side of my chest which I hoped was some sort of exercise injury. My doctor diagnosed the issue as lymph related. Last week I had successful surgery which removed everything and I will continue being monitored from this point forward to ensure optimum health. I kept this relatively quiet, except for few close friends & family over the past few weeks. When something of this magnitude hits a person it certainly puts life in perspective, it definitely did for me.
