I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on 8/27/08. I had a Lumpectomy on 9/15/08. They did not obtain clear margins the first time so they re-excised more tissue on 10/14/08. I then had Mammosite Balloon High Dose Radiation Treatments. On 12/1/08 I had my first follow up Mammogram and everything was clear. They started me on a medication called Arimidex to prevent my hormones from telling any remaining cancer cells to multiply because my mass was Hormone Receptor Positive. This medication brought me out of Menopause and I had to have a total hysterectomy on 3/16/09. Even after all this, I am keeping a positive attitude and I'm doing great. To date, my mammograms do not show any signs of new tumors! |
