In 1995 My mother Lyndell Taylor was diagnosed over 20 years ago with her first breast cancer diagnosis.She had about 5 - 6 rounds of chemotherapy and a lumpectomy done on the left breast.Before that, she had the surgery and radiation treatment for around 6 weeks and it burned like nothing before. Several years have passed and we were faced with a recurrance of the breast cancer,in 2002, but it showed up in the right breast. She again had surgery a lumpectomy again and just radiation treatment and taking tamoxifen for the next five years.
In New Zealand we have Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the whole month of October which makes women aware of the need to have mammograms and to check your breasts for any changes.I have mammograms every year since the age of 40 and always never miss out having them and are grateful for the opportunity to have them for free.
My mothers birthday is on October the 15th 2014 and she will be 67 years old. I am amazed that she has survived that long and she will always be cherished by me her daughter Joanne.
