Everything started with a lump i found on my rigth breast last may.I went to my doctor who she send me for more test and send me to the oncologist he did more test and told me Ana you have breast cancer,he put all this plans together for me to start chimo.The hard part was to tell my family I'm a mother of 3,and i'm the youngest one of 5.I got home i call my husband in california(he works in califonia)and told him about it,i call the oldest of my brothers and told him 'i have breast cancer' he was worried but he said to me everything will be ok ,after that i got a call from everybody,my family and friends,i told my kids they were surprise but after that everything was ok.I'm done with chimo,surgery and now i''m getting radiation i'll be done next month(may 2010) But i'm ready,i feel great,and i thank my doctors because they been great,my family and friends i couldn't done it without them.I tell everybody how important is to have mammograms and self examination.I lost my grandmother and two aunts to breast cancer and i lost a brother to leukemia so i wasn't surprise,now i keep an eye on my daughter because she can get it too,her grandmother had breast cancer But she now knows how important is to be checked.But my doctors told her to do self examination because she is only 20 mammograms are not recomended for her."i'm alive and is great"thank you to let me tell my story.
