BREAST CANCER - 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

It's been a little over a year since my chemo, surgery and radiation treatments. I just had my 3rd followup with my oncologist and the news was good. No Cancer. Four more years to go before I can say I'm truly Cancer free.

I know many of you reading this have also had breast cancer or know someone close to you that has. I'm grateful that everything turned out well for me and wish you all the best of luck.

For those of you who have been lucky enough not to have had breast cancer I just want to say: DO YOUR REGULAR MONTHLY SELF EXAMS! I wasn't good about it. I called it my irregular monthly exams but that is how I found the Cancer. It was stage 3! I had also been late with my mammogram. Everywhere you hear how important these check points are and I'm here to ask you to listen. It could save your life.

Also, I want to thank my surgeon, Dr. Ames smith and my oncolgist, Dr. Tom Tucker.
