Since I was 38 years old I have had a mammogram every year. I found a lump in my breast back then that turned out to be nothing. So in April 2008 when the doctors office called me back for another mammogram because they thought they seen something, I wasn't worried. Just 2 days later I was back in the doctors office setting an appointment to schedule surgery..I had breast cancer! Even now, 2 years later when I hear myself say that I still can't believe that "I" had breast cancer! But thanks to early detection and yearly mammograms I am 2 years Cancer-Free!
I tell my story to everyone I know because you don't have to have cancer in your family or be overweight to be diagnosed!
Back in March I ran my first 5-K with my Son and we we were in the top 25 in our region to raise the most money! This year I starting early with raising money..ALL women need to have a mammogram..Just like me it could save your life!
