Too Young

I found a little pea size lump under my left armpit while bathing . About a few days later I found a lump in my left breast . My gynecologist and the surgeon said " Don't worry you're to young to have breast cancer " . They told me it was a broadening but it needed to come out . While I was in the recovery room after having a lumpectomy the surgeon told me " you have cancer and your family is devastated" . The date was 10/29 1999 . I was 33 years old . I had a mastectomy no reconstruction due to having a form of hemophilia and Stage ll b cancer . I took 8 chemo treatments and serve an awesome God . I am now 47 and doing great.
