My name is Kerri Anne Haer.
It was in March 2009, when I found a large lump on my left breast before getting into the shower. That day I got a mammogram and an ultrasound. During the ultrasound the Doctor told me that I have a mass. The next day I had a needle biopsy. A few days later I was told that my biopsy came back as malignant. Soon after the diagnoses I had a lumpectomy. A couple days after that I was told some cancer was found in a small portion of one of my lymph nodes. Within a couple weeks, I had all the lymph nodes under my left arm removed. I had radiation treatments and I have been on Tomoxifen for close to 5 years. I have to stay on it for a total of 10 years. I go to Dana Farber for check ups twice a year.
