My grandma quit getting mammogram 2 1/2 years ago . Her reasoning I'm old and don't need it . I'm tired of going to these appointments! Well 2 1-2 years later she found a lump in her breast ! She went to doctor and now it has spread to her lyphm noid and surgery is out and so is radiation ( due to her age 87) . She now has stage 3C breast cancer . She has her port in her and her first chemo treatment on February 7! I love my grandma with my whole soul ! I stress the importance of mammogram no matter how old you are!! My grandma came from Ukraine to here in the USA back 60 years ago for a better life . She has seen some stuff as a kid that no one should've to endure . I've never seen my grandma scared untill now. She is afraid to die , to leave her family ! She worries about us even now when she should be worried about herself but that's my grandma. Even as she tells her great grandchildren her stories . I never seen her fear until now and it's so hard to look into her eyes and see that fear! It just breaks my heart!
