April 14th the perfect day, I was ignorate of my breast cancer! 15th yearly mamo, tech stresses" if you get a call for diagnostic do it quick!"
17th, the call came 49th birthday 19th, kinda sucked waiting. 21st diagnostic, there it was, you need biopsie on 24th.
Week later dr calls, you have Breast Cancer! None in my family so I am floored! Kids devastated and I am single, feel alone..
Well forward to July 1, after nipple sparing surgery month earlier and nodes removal, just rt breast, I op for bilateral, not going to do this again I said. 9 hours and 41 min later, tummy tuck reconstruction too!
Surgeon tells me abnormal cells in left( great call on my part) stage 1a
Got it all and healing still don't know about chemo, but I AM A SURVIVOR!
Please have your yearly mamo! Never felt it, surgeon couldn't feel it either!
Just do it!!!
I am 65% today and getting stronger every day!
