My Aunt-My Angel, Leslie Hope, was diagnosed with a very aggressive, Stage 5 Breast Cancer 2 years ago at the age of 39. She had a mammogram done when she noticed something was wrong and they told her she was fine and sent her home on antibiotics. About 3-4 moths later she saw her gyno who examined her & told her that she had Breast Cancer & that's when she started getting treatments. She had a left mastectomy done & also all of her lymph nodes removed. She went through Chemo and 2 rounds of Brain Radiation for 2 years straight. She was the most lovely, good hearted,sweetest person you would ever meet. The type of person that would give you the shirt off of her back. She struggled and fought for 2 years before she passed away on 12-12-09. I truly believe she would still be here if the Hospital/Doctor would have taken the time to read her mammogram right, so please always get a 2nd or 3rd opinion if you ever feel unsure. She was just so full of life it was unbelievable. In all the pain she was in, she never once complained about anything and did everything she had to do to try to survive.She had 1 mother, 3 children,& 1 granddaughter. She had 2 Brothers & 4 Sisters, also 11 Nieces & Nephews. We all loved her dearly & she will be missed but never forgotten. She is our Hero and now our Angel in Heaven, So please girls/women get any tests you need and worry about the bills later. And fight all these crazy changes the government is trying to do with our health programs. Stand up for all women & fight the fight against cancer because cancer sucks!
