My father had four sisters…. three had breast cancer & one died from breast cancer. My mom was one of five girls. All found lumps in there breasts. One had a cancerous lump & after a long battle succumbed to the cancer that spread throughout her body. The others were benign (thank god). Early detection is they key….please please do self exams & see your Dr every year!
What a story. I hope you are keeping an eye on yourself as well. Getting to know our bodies, what is ‘normal’ for them and not is so important. Thank you for sharing. Sorry about losing your aunt. Big hugs!
Thank you for promoting breast cancer awareness, MK!! God bless you and I continue to keep you in my prayers. * I also want to remind all of you that LOBULAR CARCINOMA is rarely detectable by mammogram so it is crucial that you conduct self exams. * (My Lumpectomy: 01/16/98) Thank you for the awesome giveaway opportunity. 🙂
Great reminder. The mammograms are fine, but not the only thing needed. I had such fibrous tissue nothing would show up even though my tumor was right under the skin. Scary. So glad you are well.
