My story

I had just turned 60 years old when I found out I had breast cancer. What a shock! There is no history of breast cancer in my family. I had gone for my annual mamogram and a calcification was found that was .08 centimeters in size. I then had a biopsy and it was postive, stage 1 breast cancer. All my lymph nodes were clear. I had a lumpectomy followed by seven weeks of radiation. This happened in April of 2008. I have been fine since. I can't express enough how important that annual mamo is!
