My doctor recommended a mammogram since I had not had one since I moved back to my home town. I did have one and it had been 10 years before. I was 59 years old.
They found something and immediately and sent me in for a sonogram. I was then sent to a surgeon for a biopsy. I was very lucky that they found it very early. It was a positive diagnosis. I did get a couple of opinions as I was in shock about all this as it does not run in my family.
I found out that it does not run in the family of most women. If it does they watch you better and test more often.
I had another surgery to make sure they had removed it all but I did not let them remove my breast. I was treated with radiation for 35 weeks.
I have been cancer free for two years (thanks God) and should be having another mammogram in June.
I am very glad that I had the mammogram as I almost put it off again.
God blessed me with wonderful doctors, physicians and couselors who were very caring and helped me through it all.
Ladies please, get your mammograms, it can save your life!
