My Mother was detected early in the stages of breast cancer. Upon Ruby's initial CT Scan-and result; she exited the exam area with tears and a tissue in her hand. I was devastated and so was my Father. Her Surgeon Iki MD was a true professional and explained the CT Scan Results. At that point, my only concern was that the cancer cells hadn't invaded or entered the sentinel nodes. Dr. Iki promised a check of the lymph nodes upon biopsy.
To our surprise, there was no sign of the lymph nodes being contaminated by the cancer! It was simply the breast that was affected and only with a small round lump that seemed to be growing. Ruby's surgery went well. Afterwards, we were elated to see her up and about again! As a male I can not stress how important it is for all women to do self exams as well as, your yearly mammogram! It saved my MOTHER's LIFE! Now, we can look back at photos and still sit with her to enjoy the past. God is good and life is better for the advances and the Pink Ribbon Campaigns. I thoroughly enjoy the Ralph Lauren Pink Auctions. I know that Cancer will be beat one day soon!
