At the age of 45, I was diagnosed with DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in situ). It is the earliest stages of breast cancer. I was already one year overdue on my annual mammogram. There is no history of breast cancer in my family. The doctors say they find breast cancer more and more in younger women, and it's due to the environment. After a lumpectomy and six weeks of radiation, I can say that I am a one year survivor. I thank God that my cancer was caught so early. PLEASE DON'T PUT OFF HAVING YOUR MAMMOGRAMS!!!
