My sister died with breast cancer in 1989. So religiously I went for my screenings every year. In December of 2000, after a yearly screen they detected a knot. By MLK day I had a biopsy and it was cancerous. I chose to have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. No other treatments were necessary. 13 years later I am still cancer free. Early detection is the answer to a cure. Please go for your screening every year and if your family is like mine and it runs in the family, get an early baseline screening. Both my daughter have.
