Hi, my name is Roseann Mohon. I wanted to share my story to help raise awareness of the importance for getting Mammograms.
In 1996 at the age of 33yrs I had my first Mammogram done because my sister had been diagnosed with Breast cancer. I was so scared when they called me back for a second view.
They sent me home with a suggestion for a followup in 6 months. I waited a year instead. When I finally had it I was told that there had been significant changes and that I needed to see my doctor which resulted in a biopsy. I was diagnosed with DCIS stage 1 in 1997. Because of those Mammograms we caught my cancer early.
I am a survivor of 17 years now. Unfortunately my sister lost her battle after 5 years. Her courage throughout her battle inspired me to fight and I wish to do the same for every woman out there by sharing my story. GET THOSE MAMMOGRAMS LADIES THEY DO SAVE LIVES. Thank you. ♥♥}i{♥♥
