Back In 2001 I found a lump in my underarm, I had gone to my dr as I wasnt feeling good and I pointed it out to him. He refered me to a surgeon which then lead to the next horrifiying 3 months. The first Dr (surgeon) removed the thyroid under my right arm. I woke up in recover and he said your good go home. Before I got home there was a message on my phone from the hospital stating a mistake was made, neddless to say that Dr no longer practices. The next 6 weeks was spent with MRI's, Mamograms and biopsies. Well there were a total of 7 lumps removed, all was contained in the lumps removed. I had 3/4's of my right breast removed. I worry all the time of the reaccurance of the nasty monster but am happy I survived. I was worried for my two daughter's but have gone thru the Genetic counseling and testing and I do not carry the gene for breast cancer, so that is a relief. I try to support breast cancer sites as much as I can but have suffered three TIA's (mimi Strokes) and just lost my job so financially I am limited but love all this site does for the cause. I wish all the woman and men out there that have to face this evilness all the luck in the world. Stay stronge and keep the faith,,,,,
