my story started when i was a mere 22 years old my breast were sore to touch and red raw seeping a very smelly odor and were shrinking rapidly I have seen several doctors had biopsoies and so on i went through hell with pain and soreness .A specialist ask me on one of my vistits what i would like to do i had no idea what he was talking about he then informed me that as i had 2 babies at home what would i like to do as there isn't much time to think about it .I had ask him then with my mother by my side what do you mean well he said iam sorry to have to tell you this but without a bilaterialmastecomy you will probably die with in a year or so with it you can live a normal healthy life .What would you do so i opt to have the surgery the diease i had was called (mammary displacia) and if left unattended turns to a rapid form of breast cancer i am here to say that it has been 30 years March 2010 so do not just look for lumps as they are not always there .
