My name is Loretta Hudson and I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Oct. 20, 2014. I went for a follow-up, had a mammogram and ultrasound. I was ask to come back for needle biopsy on Thursday, Oct. 23rd. On Oct. 27 I received the phone call from my dr. office to say unfortunately the biopsy result was cancer. It was Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). It was horrible news. I cried and had to inform my husband, children and family members. It was a tough day. Then I determined that I had to rely on my Heavenly Father, because after all, he is in control. I had unbelievable support from my family, work and church. People seemed to come out of the woodwork with prayer and unwavering support for me.
I went to surgery on Nov. 18, 2014, with 15 people waiting in the surgical waiting area.
Friday, Nov. 20, 2014, I received a phone call from my surgeon that the pathology report from surgery had come back and the report was clean!!
Praise God, he brought me through. Early detection is definitely the key and anyone that's thinking about putting off your mammogram, I would advise you not to. PLEASE GET YOUR MAMMOGRAM!!!! I had no pain and no lump, it could only be detected by mammogram.
So long story short, I got the diagnosis on Oct. 20, 2014 and received the call from my surgeon on Nov. 20, 2014 that I was cancer free!!!
