I was a normal mum busy working raising 4 kids. I was 34 .like most people I would get up have a shower go to work , on this day I woke up and noticed my nipple had a dent in it . I thought nothing of it . the next morning it was like it again. I said to my husband that I must of slept funny as there was a dent in the nipple again. I decided after I finished work that day I would go to the doctor. best choice I made . as I showed the doctor she had a feel and told me she could not feel anything but sent me for a mammogram .wow what a shock 3 lumps in the ducts my heart sank as I knew in my heart I had breast cancer . I had a biopsy the next day and the results were positive . so 2 weeks later my world was upside down as I had a double mastectomy . then came the six rounds of chemo . about a year later I began the reconstruction side now have just had my nipples . if you notice a change no matter how small see a doctor as I did now I get to see my wonderful kids grow up and enjoy growing older with my husband . my name is Shannon and I am a survivor
