I am a 36 year old woman who was diagnosed in April with breast cancer. I have three children that i had to tell the news to and it was so hard. I had a double mastectomy in June and am now going through chemo. I only have one more to go!! I will have reconstructive surgery and will have to be placed on hormonal therapy as well. Being diagnosed was so shocking to me. I thought it was just another cyst because i had the fibrocystic breast disease in other breast. Something told me to get another mamo though and am so glad i did. Because i didnt have insurance, the Susan B Koman foundation paid for my mamo, ultrasound and biopsy. I want to thank organizations like these because thats how i was able to be diagnosed and early. This has been a battle and fight i will never forget, but i will survive and it has made me so much stronger.
