At 41, my doctor told me it was time to start doing annual mammograms. I thought nothing of it, and went to my scheduled appointment. After, when they called me back because the mammogram was suspicious, I thought nothing of it.Why would I? No one in my family history ever had breast cancer. After the biopsy was done and now knowing the fact that I had cancer was shocking. The surgery was practically painless. It took more of a toll on my mind than my body. It was stage 2A. I got a lumpectamy. They took about 40% of my breast. Then the real work began. The chemo made me sick. The radiation burnt my skin but i'm still here today! That was 4 years and 1 month ago. I have my check ups like clock work. I do everything the doctor tells me to. The moral of my story is... EARLY DECTION SAVES LIVES! HAVE YOUR MAMMOGRAM DONE TODAY!
Love You All! God Bless and Happy New Years!
