In Oct. 2008 I Went For My Routine Mammogram. Several Days Later I Got A Call To Come Back They wanted To Get Another Look At My Right Breast. They Showed Me A Small Tumur On The Upper Righ Breast. Panic Set In, But I Tried To Be Positive. So I Saw The Surgeon, Had A Biopsy. Came Back Positive For Stage 2 Hormone Positive Breast Cancer. I, WE Were Devastated. I Went Thru 2 Surgeries. First To Remove The Right Breast To Send To Pathology For Testing. Several Weeks Later The Surgeon Told Me They Found Two Lump Nodes That Tested Positive For Cancer Cells. 2ND Surgery To Remove Lymph Nodes Under My Right Arm And Implant A Port For Chemotherapy. Had 6 Rounds Of 2 Chemo Drugs, Then 6 Rounds Of Another Chemo Drug. It Was Horrible. But I Have The Best Husband. He And My Family Got Me Through This Trying Time. November 2009 My Mom Found Out She Has Aggressive Breast Cancer In Her Left Breast. It Was A Repeat Of What I Went Thru All Over Again. I Knew I Had Survived for My Mom To Help Her Go Thru Her Treatments For A Full Year. She Did Great.
Survived 5 Years And Counting.
