Biography

I am 43 just diagnosed breast cancer. I am a wife & mom with three children Jessica-12, Devin-10, and Lucas-7. Ironically, I used to be a Radiation Therapist and treat cancer patients 10 years ago..now I am on the receiving side of cancer treatment!

Cancer Symptoms

Lump found at annual physical, mammogram negative (did not show up on mammo), ultrasound was considered benign (just watch). I saw a surgeon who again assumed 90% chance this is benign, but we can biopsy. My instincts and medical background were telling me to get a biopsy, so the next day after biopsy – I got the call that it was cancer.




Comments:

Wow, what a story! You are so fortunate to have the right instincts and background, and follow them!

Given your expertise, any comments that you could provide on my own website for anal cancer, which is “analcancerhelp” with extension “info” would be very much appreciated – and thanks for being my friend!

Keep on fighting, girl! By the way, which Upstate Small town in New York did you live in? I use to live in Salisbury Center and Dolgeville. Anywhere near you?
