I was going for my annual physical when my right breast seemed tender and a lump was felt. I had gotten a script for an FNA but had needed an overdue mammogram first. I had had it, they found calcification.
They were biopsed in April, a week later I got that dreaded news. YOU HAVE CANCER.
I knew what I needed to do. Luckily it was a 'good cancer'. DCIS Stage 0. I had a double mastectomy.Which was strongly suggested since I'm under 50.
It was actually a blessing that I did go for a double mastectomy because my pathology report told me LCIS was also detected in my left breast. I dodged a bullet.
Luckily I didn't need chemo or radiation.
Today I am 'CANCER FREE'! <3
