my story begins , 1998 ,I went for a mammogram ,got a called from my Doctor they had found a lump in my left breast ,went into hospital ,had the lump removed ,followed by 27 radiation treatment was doing ok. Then 4 year later 2002 I went for a mammogram they called and said I was fine no cancer ,I was very large busted so, I decided to have a breast reduction went into see the plastic surgeon ,he checked me ,then said I wont do the surgery till you get a biopsy, went to get the biopsy knowing everything was all right ,but it wasn't ,The mammogram did not pick up any of my cancer ,I had stage 4 breast cancer ,it was in all my lipnoid ,so, I had both breast removed followed by 9 chemo treatment 27 radiation when finished, it came back in a form of bumps across my chest ,more chemo 9 then, I went to get a pec scan it showed cancer in my right lung too 18 month of chemo followed by hurceptin then my lung was operated on a 1/4 was removed ,Since then I have been doing ok ( finding cancer early is the key ,please get your Mammograms ,or some other imaging to be sure If in doubt check it out )
