I had breast cancer for the fisrt time in 2004. It was discovered only because my doctor annoyed me into my first mammorgram. A lumpectomy and radiation, and it was over.
August 7, 2009 was surgery for the 2nd occurrence. Regular intervals of mammograms caught this one early, too. When I left Roswell that day, I knew it was the first steps toward surviving again! Don't know yet about chemo (lymph nodes were cancer free) but radiation is on the schedule again. And my biggest supporter, Jean, said she will be there for every treatment!
Thanks go to my caregivers for their persistence in being with me every step of the way. Without them, this journey isn't possible.
