AnizinMy story started March 2012. My husband suggested since I was no longer working that it was time for me to get my women's examinations done that I had been putting off for quite sometime because my fear of doctors. I had a car accident in 1984 and had gone to a series of doctors whom told me I'll heal in time and sent me on my way.
So I made my Mammogram appointment along with a CT Scan for my spine. That CT scan found a spot on my kidney(tumor) and a series of mammagrams would show a small tumor on the right breast. So there was that C word I always dreaded hearing. I had two Cancers. I went numb all over. Who was going to take care of my husband whom has PTSD. I'm his caregiver! Here comes the doctors appointments and biopsies (two) to see what stage( mine was one). Scheduled for surgery ( both breast & kidney) done at the same time. Since my cancers were on the borderline I only have to take a hormone pill everyday for five years. I'm almost two years cancer free June 5, 2014. Thanks to my Doctor's at the Miami VA. Since February 20, 2014 i've had my reconstruction of my right breast and lift for the left breast. I feel like a women again !!!!!! Sincerely, Linda S. Jensen.
