I started out young at 26 a Hysterectomy because of cancer, at the age of 28 started my journey with all the problems with my Breast started with Biopsy to Lumpectomies, Cystitis, I always had to go to Breast Care Doctors and at the age of 47-48 I found out the first time I had Breast Cancer and was put on tamoxifen which was very hard on me found out I was unable to take the medication and then we moved and I started going to a new doctor that I believed in and trusted he had me go through the tests and I remember so well walking in his office and you could hear a pin drop, he said "Becky we need to do a Bilateral and Radical Mastectomy" a little over a month later the Operation went well,after my research I did not have Reconstruction, I had 17 Lymph nodes on left Breast and 12 Lymph nodes on right Breast taken ,The after fact was a nightmare the word Cancer scared everyone away, I felt alone I had no-one, I had to fight this I did not want to give up easy, I was not going to let this get me, I was put on Tamoxifen again I was so sick so went on a different medication, my Oncologist told me they got all the cancer and had me go off medication due to other health issues, To this day I will not undress in front of my husband and I hate looking at my self because I had a bad Mastectomy and if I can tell anyone PLEASE check your Surgeon out if the internet states 5 star not all true do your research, I have to live a different life today but I love life and enjoy it to the fullness. I love to help others. I opened my site "Becky's Cancer Group of Michigan" did not do well but I receive calls from others and from the Hospital I talk with Cancer Patients that has been the best medicine I could ever ask for me!
