I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December of 1999. I had had signs of cancer to the breast so I went to my PCP and he immediately sent me for a mammogram and set an appointment up for a surgeon. After the mammogram didn't show up anything the surgeon did a sonogram. There three lumps were discovered. He did biopsies the same day and by Tuesday of the next week I was having surgery for a radical mastectomy.
I am now an almost 11 year survivor. Each day I click so that others can have a mammogram. I also participate in the Relay for Life in my local county each year.
I have a tee shirt given to me by a friend that says on front "Official Monthly Breast Examiner" and on the back it says "Touching Boobs Saves Lives." I wear it proudly so that others will do their monthly exams.
