For many years I had an annual mammogram but in 2007 the exam found a suspicios spot. After more testing, I had a lumpectomy with positive margins so a modified radical mastectomy was done a week later. I then had four rounds of chemo and am approaching my 4th anniversary of being a survivor. So I urge all women (and men too) to do the self exam and have an annual mammogram. It does save lives!
