Dear Friends that will have LUMPECTOMY...
Mammograms are not fun, but I agree, they can save your life. I don't know how long my cancer would have grown before I noticed a lump.

My cancer was found very early with no lymph node involvement because of him, and my surgeon who suggested that since I had a cancer diagnosis in the right breast, I could have a bi-lateral mastectomy. The left breast was also cancerous. No lump there either, and nothing on the mammogram. I consider myself very lucky to have had the medical professionals that I did! If you've been putting it off, make your appointment now!
