The Merry Month of May
May is the 3rd anniversary of my discovering I have breast cancer so I end up having my annual check up and mammogram in May. Nervous time as you can well imagine!! I finished my mammogram, seeing Dr. Dahlia Sataloff, my surgeon and Dr. David Mintzer, my medical oncologist. Luckily, everything is okay. My mammogram was the same as last year- no change is very good!! All doctors are happy and so am I.
I urge everyone to get a baseline mammogram if you have never had one and get annual check ups and mammograms. Early detection helped me to discover a lobular invasive tumor that was small enough that I did not need chemotherapy but just a lumpectomy and radiation. I am taking Tamoxifen for the recommended 5 years.
Now I try not to think about it for another year!
Glad to hear you got a good report! Amy
So glad to hear everything went well in May. Judy
Hi Linda, Thank you for reprinting the article about the history of the pink ribbon. It was very enlightening and worth reading. Take care, Judy Pransky
