Hello, I am a breast cancer survivor. I found a lump in my left breast in August of 2001. I had a mammogram in September of 2001. the results of that mammogram did not detect that it was cancerous, according to the radiology report. I let it go for a few weeks & then October came & I saw the ads stating it was breast cancer awareness month. By the grace of God & the awareness ads I got a second opinion & I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2001 . I had a lumpectomy in November 2001, & went through chemo & radiation, all ending by the summer of 2002. Today I am cancer free. I have 2 daughters and because of what I endured, they are encouraged to start early with their mammograms & to never be afraid to get a second opinion.
