Twelve years ago, at the age of 59, my doctor found a lump in my breast that turned out to be a stage 3 cancer. I underwent a mastectomy, a year and a half of chemo and radiation, plus another surgery. I have been cancer free since I finished my treatments. The love and support of my family and friends helped me get through that difficult time and I will be grateful forever.
I recommend that all women have regular checkups along with mammograms. They are both important tools for early detection.
