I was one of those women that feared mamograms. I had not had one in twenty years! I heard of a free breast cancer screening. Something just kept telling me that maybe I should go get a mamo since it had been so long.
So, I went to the free screening. The mamo showed something suspicious. I was sent for an ultrasound. The ultrasound
showed a cluster of granules that could not be felt. Not a lump like most people have.
I had a MRI and a biopsy. A few days later on June 8, 2010 I was told that I had breast cancer: lobular incitu, ductal incitu and ductal invasive carcinoma!!!
I had a lumpectomy. No cancer in the lymph nodes, no chemo . I did have radiation and 5 years on Tamoxafin .
I am happy to say that "I am a 3 year survivor"!!! If I had not gotten that mamogram, I may not be here today.
Early detection saved my life!!!
