Breast cancer awareness should be more than one month

Tweet

I'm really glad there's an emphasis on breast cancer, but even with all the newest technology and drugs, there are still too many people dying of this horrible disease. I was diagnosed December first of last year (2022) with two different kinds of cancer in one breast. One was the most ordinary kind with a high chance of recovery or even being cured. But one was a very aggressive, rare cancer that my surgeon only sees once every two or three years. And he has seen many patients in the 20 plus years he's been a breast surgeon. I've told many of you this in the past, but it was the grace of God that I'm still alive. I fell the year before and developed a small lump on my left breast, so my GYN doctor sent me to have a 3D mammogram and ultra sound. That's where on the second time there, they discovered the cancers, but were on my right breast. My GYN doctor was shocked...my yearly mammogram was just recently done and didn't detect any sign of cancer. I never had one symptom of anything wrong, no lumps, no nothing. If my cancers hadn't been diagnosed so early, I most likely wouldn't be alive now. I give God all the credit for healing me and guiding me to the newest technology. I'm so thankful for those 3D mammograms and ultrasound. I hope eventually all mammogram machines will be 3D. When you're scheduled for one, please, please try to have a 3D if at all possible. It might save your life.
