When i found the lump in my left breast i was like its nothing probably just a cyst. And when i found out on October 8th 2012 that i had breast cancer
I was in shock, scared, couldn't even think stright. I have never cried and prayed so much in my life. I had several test after and they thought there was lumps in my lymph nods, right then and there i was falling in my husbands arms and seeing my kids and granddaughter and husband loosing me. I was so scared. After a biopsy was taken of my lymph nods there was nothing found. I was able to breath again. With all the support from my husband and my family I under went surgery on November 21 2012. I decided to have both breast removed, because the right had 4 cyst also, and my doctor said that more and likely i would end up with issues if i didnt.
After 4 hours of surgery and placement of tissue expanders, i was able to go home within 2 days. Since then i have went through several injections to expand my chest for my implants. I now have my implants, and I am on a pill for the next 5 years, and I don't have to have any chemo and to this day I am 1 year cancer free. I am blessed that i found the lump very early. Early detection is best.
