In 1995 My husband was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy and had 12 lymph nodes removed and cleared of infestation. He followed that with 5 years of Tamoxifin.
In 2000, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a lumpectomy followed by radiation.
In 2005, our oldest daughter also had a lumpectomy with radiation and 5 years of Tamoxifin which she just completed last month.
Happy to report, we are all fine and nobody should hesitate to be screened and should be diligent in checking for lumps. (men too!)
