I am a 27 year old mother of an almost 4yr. old son and wife to my wonderful husband .Just before leaving for a family vacation I found a lump in my right breast on Sept 17th 09
I had a mammo and sono the next week .. they came back very suspicious for cancer. the docs all said I'm too young don't worry 90% chance everything is ok.. I wanted to take no chances so i had a surgical biopsy to remove the whole mass.. test came back on Oct 13 09. cancer.. I'm thinking this can't be really me I'm so young...Let me stress that I'm only 27!! they now think the cancer could have spread I have my first Oncology appt on tuesday to find a plan of action and see how far the cancer has spread. My surgeon says I've had it for at least a year had I waited till I was 30 I would be making final arrangements..Time will tel and I plan to put up one hell of a fight!! But the message I want to spread is that ITS NEVER TO EARLY TO CHECK YOURSELF!! There is NO history of breast cancer in my family.. this CAN happen to ANY woman..God Bless all the women who battle this nasty silent disease and the families who support them..
