Routine mammogram

June 26 , 2010, went for a routine mammogram. A few days later had a call to say that they needed me to come back in to do another mammogram. I thought ok no big deal. The lady that did my mammogram came into my dressing room and showed me my film and showed me what they found and why they were redoing it. They had me come back to do a biopsy and a few days later when my husband and I came back for the results I was devastated when they told me that I had cancer in my right breast. I broke down and cried my husband consoled me but the words cancer, was a death sentence to me. I had Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma ER 75% positive PR 78%, HER2 neu negative. T1b . I had a lumpectomy and 1 lymp node removed that showed no cancer. I did 7 wks of radiation and I was put on Tamoxifen for 5 years , 2 more years to go on the tamoxifen . Thank god It was detected early
