October 2009 I went to have a regular yearly check up, my doctor told me I needed to have a mamogram. I told the doctor I have no medical insurance and could not afford to get a mamogram. The doctor then told me I will give you a free mamogram so go. I went for my mamogram and did not think much of it as there is no history of any type of cancer in my family. My mom had a few sists and fatty tumors over the years but they were never cancerous. I received a letter about two weeks later advising me to go for another check up and mamogram. That new mamogram turned into a biopsy and a discovery of Invasive Ductal Carsonoma Stage I....Lucky for me it was only a Stage I and I had a lumpectomy, 4 chemo treatments and 33 radiation treatments. So far cancer free today but there is no telling where I would be today if it weren't for my Guardin Angel on earth offering me a free mamogram. Please get your mamograms even if you have to go to your health department to apply for a free mamogram or ask your doctor if there are any programs that offer free mamograms.
