Continue with follow up...

Brenda,

You have so much courage. Thank goodness you were doing your monthly breast exams and you found your lump. You took control. We are faced with making difficult decisions about our health. Bless you on your journey. You are a survivor!

I was told back in 2002 that I had breast cancer (ductial) and had a lumpectomy done at that time. This was followed by mamo's every 3 months for a year. Then they told me that all was fine and I should have a mamo done once a year. Well this year, February 2010, I found a lump in my left breast and went in for a mamo, this lead to a digital mamo followed by a surgical bio. after all of this they said my cancer was back. I was told I could do nothing and wait it out or I could have a total bilateral mastectomy. And put an end to this cancer business. So on March 24th I had both of my breast removed. My path report stated that in fact I had ductial cancer in both breast not just the left side. I feel very lucky! Now I must make the choice or rather to have reconstructive surgery or not. I'm still healing from my surgery but have to say I'm glad that My fight has been won.

Thanks
Brenda
