2007, was not a great year. I have always done self exams, my aunt had stage 3 breast cancer.I had my regular mamogram in April .(normal). June I found a lump, I thought I was mistaken, went on vacation wth it on the back of my mind. End of August I was finally at the Dr.'s office told them found something and to see if she could find it. They did! On my 44 birthday I was diagnoised with breast cancer. That led to double mastecomy and reconstruction, many, many (7) surgeries from complicatons, I also have scleroderma, and a blood disorder that I take coumadin for. As of now I am Still Cancer Free!!!! I plan on staying that way. If you learn anything from this, Please Do Self Exams
