I had my annual mammogram on April 10th, a few days later I got a letter from the hospital telling me to contact my Dr. I saw him on April 22nd & he had already made me an appt. for another mammo & ultrasound for the 23rd. I was sent for a biopsy on my right breast April 29th & on May 1st I was told to come in & talk to my
Dr. on May 2nd. My daughter went with me because we suspected the news was not good. He recommended a great Oncology Surgeon which I saw on May 15th & did pre-op testing. I had a lumpectomy & 2 lymph nodes removed on May 21st. On May 29th I had post-op appt. with Dr. Li, he said I had Triple Negative..... Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage 1 but the lymph nodes were good. I saw my Oncologist, Dr. Burton, on June11th & he recommended 34 radiation treatments & called in my Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Wilkinson, who gave me my options & I chose the radiation which I completed on Aug. 26th.
I give God credit for my well being plus my many praying friends and the love and support of family & friends. I had the best doctors & radiation therapists,
Lauren, Matt & Jodi for which I am grateful. My doctors keep a check on me. I am truly blessed.
