In November of 2003, I discovered a lump in my right breast but, even though my family has a history of breast cancer, I put off going to the doctor. When I finally went in January 2004, my fears were right...breast cancer! I immediately called my niece, Lori, who had also had breast cancer. Because of her courage, outlook on life and incredible sense of humor, she talked me through my "freaking out" stage. I got may act together, called the doctor and a week later had a lumpectomy. I also had to undergo chemo and radiation therapy. I have now been cancer-free for over five years. I AM A SURVIVOR! Thank you Lori!!
