Back in March of 1998 I was getting ready to go to a funeral. I got into the shower and thats when I found my lump. I had missed getting a mammogram in 1997. So yes I was scared. But I knew I had to get this taken care of. Well it was cancer. I went thru chemo and radiation. That was the first time. But in July of 2000 the cancer was back. I had to take tamoxifen and then Arimidex. Short story long. I'm a 16yr survivor for the first time and God willing come August 4th I will be a 14yr survivor for the second time. U can survive this, but don't think that it will just go away. Thats called denial.
