Be a Survivor

I had a mammogram and ultrasound after finding a lump in my breast and was told it was nothing and to repeat the mammogram in a year. After about 8 months I once again consulted my Dr who referred me to a surgeon. Things moved fast and a few days later I had a lumpectomy and lymph node dissection. I was told that 11 out or 11 lymph nodes tested positive for cancer. Going through chemo and radiation was a very rough journey, but I am now proud to say I am a 3 YEAR SURVIVOR. I thank God for all my family and friends who helped me get through this stage in my life. My message to everyone is to get your annual mammograms and if you find a lump and you are concerned do not wait. Be proactive and get it checked out.
