At the age of 38 I found a large lump in my breast. It had been less than 10 months since my last mammogram. Thinking it was a fluid filled cyst I went to my Dr. to have it drained. WRONG!
I heard those dreaded words:
"You have cancer"
Luckily I have a wonderful supportive husband who said, "WE'LL get through this" And get through it we did. After bilateral mastectomies and all that follows, I am proud to sit here and type this story 22 years later.
I just hope that my story will encourage someone else to share. Nothing was worse for me than to have a person say,"I know how you feel." when they DID NOT HAVE A CLUE!
I have happily shared my story with others and listened to many more.
