I had suspicions that something was wrong because my left breast looked Fuller&last year(2012) I had sharp pain in it but it came& gone, I was more tired. I ignored these symptoms as I was a Nurse working night shift& raising 5 kids so figured my body was just wore out& I was only 32! So Jan. of 2013 I found a rash, lump, dimpling&called the Obgyn after the hospital told me it was Dermatitis& they felt no lump! My ObGYN sent me for a mammo& of course came out with Triple Positive IDC & Stage 3. I had Chemo first& still currently on herceptin treatments, I had left mastectomy done on 12/19/13 which showed a 7.5 cm tumor yet&3 lymph nodes positive out of 19 he took! I underwent PT for lymphyedema! Starting Radiation on 2/12/14& Total hysterectomy 4/7/14& waiting to get Right mastectomy & Tram Flap done!! My kids are 14, 10,7,8&5!!! This has been sooo frightening & scary! I just try to think positive but hard! Its a long road, I go to treatments, surgeries& all myself because of lack of support, but its all good. God gives this to its strongest soldiers& I'm fighting for my kids!! I pray& hope I'm a long term survivor with no recurrence.
