in may of 1992 i gave birth to my 2nd son. All was well but i would not stop lactating. went to the dr who thought it was a staph infection, went on antibiotics but it would'nt go away. He decided for precaution i should get a mammo, but said that i was too young, but he could rule that out after the test results...well it turned out to be breast cancer! I had a double masectomy and chemo. and was fine for 14 yrs until they found that the chemo meds had done damage to my heart, so now am dealing with congestive heart failure. So even though the chemo was meant to help me it wound up costing me anyway.
thanks for allowing me to tell my story
