43 and Breast Cancer

At 43 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast. My mother had had it and I knew it would get me, so i chose to have a double masectomy. The Doctor did not want to cut both of them off because the left one was clean. GO WITH YOU GUT INSTINTS! It is your body do what you feel is right. The procedure of the Double Masectomy was done and guess what, the left breast had a slow undetectable different kind of cancer in it. So it would have got me if I wouldnt have stood up and taken control of my body. I didnt have to have any treatment, but did choose to have breast reconstruction. Beautiful work my Plastic Surgeon and his team did. . I am 3 years cancer free and live life to the fullest. May god bless all those out there still fighting for their lives. REMEMBER IT IS YOUR BODY AND YOU ARE IN CONTROL. DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU. My prayers are with all.
