I woke up one morning to such pain in my left arm, I couldn't use it. I was only 34 yrs. of age. I asked my husband to please find a doctor to do a mammogram. I was denied by several places because of my age. Needless to say with my husbands persistence, low and behold he found a place that would do a mammogram that day. The worst day of my life lay ahead of me. A spot was found on the mammogram but it was on the right side. The day before my sons 16th birthday, I had the biopsy. Two weeks later I was in the operating room having a radical mastectomy. I'm still here 21 yrs. later because of my husbands persistence !
