CASE #1326

Newly married, new baby, 1986, new lump, age 31. The words were hard to hear, have surgery to remove my left breast. I had a baby, I wanted to see her grow up. Would I see that?

Happy Birthday to me, my 32nd birthday, my left breast was removed. Three months later the right breast was removed. Twenty-four years later I am cancer free and I have never regretted what happened to me. I saw my daughter graduate from college and become a nurse. My son was born in 1990. Cancer did not rule my life. Everytime I look in the mirror I think back to 1986 and I say I am a beautiful woman!
