My sister didn't have health insurance so she didn't get mammagrams every year, She found her lump with self examination at 40 years old. She then went to the doctor and they confirmed that it was cancer. She had a masectomy and 12 lymph nodes removed, which tested positive. She then went thru grueling times of chemo and radiation and then reconstructive surgery. She was my hero, never complaining just doing everything she had to do to survive. The cancer spread to her lungs 2 years later and then her liver and then in March of 2009 it went to her brain. She went thru brain surgery like a soldier but the cancer won the battle on May 6, 2009. I truely believe if she had gotten mammograms each year they would have caught it in the early stages and she would still be here. So please girls 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 and fight the fight against cancer because cancer sucks!
