I had breast cancer. I caught it early.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had breast cancer. Yeah, I know it's scary.
When I was 41, I found a lump the size of a grape in my right breast. I ended up bald, sick and exhausted from surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments. Ah, but I got to live.
I grew up knowing the importance of breast cancer.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004.
The doctor told me, 'You have breast cancer.' I heard the cancer part first - it was only later that I heard the breast part. I couldn't believe it.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13 and it was something we weren't really aware of as a family.
When breast cancer took my mom, it met its biggest enemy.
I had a lump on my face and had a big cancer thing removed.
It wasn't until after the reduction that in the lab work, the pathology, that they found that I had DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) in my left breast. I was very, very lucky because DCIS is basically stage-zero cancer. So I was very lucky.
I didn't know anything about breast cancer when I got it.
