I am proud to say I am a survivor. I had breast cancer I did chemo and radiation. I think what Id like everyone to know
is when you find a lump don't listen to what you read or what people tell you. Please go to your family doctor right away. Let him check it out. I had a very painful lump in my breast . I read in a well known magazine that painful lumps are not cancerous. I had a friend at work tell me that not to worry she has five and she plays with them. I didn't go to the doctor right away. The lump just kept getting worse! So I decided this is something. I went to the doctor and from then on my life went crazy for a while tests checking the lump as it turned out it was cancer and had I listened to them completely I probably wouldn't be here today my lump was fast growing . I was very lucky I am a survivor. I just want to let people know don't listen to
friends innocent comments they mean well but check for yourself go to the doctor . Get those mammograms on time. Be strong be proud be cancer free!
One more thing Id like to say is the magazine said painful lumps were infected milk glands. Not always true! The friends lumps that had five and she played with them turned out to be cysts. From what I understand cysts are not cancerous but you really cant be sure. Please please have it checked by a doctor and be sure!
