The Merry Month of May

June 2, 2015

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!
