Breast Center Nurse is Diagnosed with Breast Cancer-Again
After 22 years and six months, I thought I had beaten breast cancer. A routine yearly mammogram found a 5 mm new cancer. I was shocked and scared, just like patients that I see every day.
My story shows the importance of self examination and persistence with the doctor. If my story will help convince other women to be diligent about self examination, yearly mammograms, and doctor visits and to know their own body, then I would love to help by sharing my story.
I am a 12-year cancer survivor. I found the lump at 29, the doctors and nurses said I was too young, my own instincts were what drove me to get the lump out. THANK GOD!
