I went into the doctor's office for a routine exam to get a new prescription for birth control. My doctor said she felt a lump in my breast and wanted to make sure it was nothing serious. After a mammogram that came up with inconclusive results, my doctor opted for an ultra sound. It came up with a small lump in my left breast, and I was told "You have breast cancer". All my emotions went haywire, I thought "How can this be possible? I am only 17 years old." but my doctor held faith. I went into surgery, had a very successful removal, and here I am 10 years later. I stand up tall, proud, and strong because I am a survivor. I look forward to the years down the road, when I can share my story with my children. And they can be proud that their mother, is still kicking breast cancer's butt!
