10 years ago, at the age of 57, I developed breast cancer. I went through the fear, the surgery, months of chemo, radiation, MRI's, and all the other appointments thereafter for the past 10 years. Last week, on my 10 year anniversary, I was officially declared cured. It's been a very long 10 years and I am proud to be a survivor.
It is essential that women get a mammogram every single year. If I had skipped that year, I'd be looking at a whole other scenario.
I am honoring myself, and those friends and family who either died of breast cancer or who have walked the journey - Dorothy Gerstner, Dorothy Gray, Pam Sunderland, Diane Hagen, Nancy, and Patti.
