At age 40 going in for a routine mammogram I never expected to hear the words "we found a small mass and need to do a biopsy". One week later I had the diagnosis....Stage 1 invasive high grade ductile carcinoma.
I spent the first few weeks in utter panic as my husband and I navigated between doctors, surgeons and my oncologist. On July 1, 2013 I had a bilateral mastectomy. On December 16, 2013 I finished 16 rounds of chemo.
Through this process I have met so many incredible survivors, doctors, nurses, staff. Their motivation has helped me stop feeling sorry for myself and face this disease. It has also inspired me to try and help others.
Tell me...what does your sign say?
