Hello All,
First, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I was always terrified to get a mammogram due to all the horror stories I heard and the pain I thought it would cause due to my breast sensitivity. One day at a music festival I saw this handsome man standing in front of a hospital booth, unlike me I went over to talk to him. He asked if I ever had any screening done & encouraged me to get a mammogram. He introduced me to lovely woman named Loretta who took great care of me & joined me for my first appointment He was a (Guardian Angel in disguise) she set up my appointment for July 30th.
Nervous as ever and with support, I went to my first mammogram appointment and honestly it wasn’t as bad as I made it out to be. It was uncomfortable but I got through it. I got a call that my breast were dense and they wanted to do another mammo and ultrasound on my right breast. On August 18th I had both procedures done. Once those results came in they saw two masses that they wanted to biopsy, still just going with the flow and hoping for the best, I went to my biopsy appointment on August 30th. One mass was a cyst that they ruptured and they took a sample of the other. About a week later ( now September) I get a phone call from my primary doctor (who's been my doctor for 15yrs) with all this anxiousness in his voice that the mass is in fact cancer and we need to take care of this ASAP.
On October 18th I will under-go a double mastectomy. I choose that route because I’d rather take care of all of it now, then have the cancer come back later down the line.
I’m nervous… I’ve never had major surgery before but I am remaining positive as it does run in my family, I’ve seen what breast cancer can do to a person first hand & I know it’s not a death sentence. I’ve seen success & full recovery in others, they’re my secret super power. I’m trusting God will see me through this & obviously it’s in his grand scheme of things & purpose on my life.
My close relative has also went through this so….I’ll will follow her lead and go the same route in medical services. I have faith that new medicine, science, Dr. Sebi natural remedies will get me through this healthy & strong but like everything else it will cost.
My doctors appointments alone running back & forth to NYC is mentally taxing. Waiting on disability, still having to pay my health insurance weekly while I’m recovering & paying my high deductible is becoming overwhelming when I just want to focus on my health. So if anyone wants to donate to help with medical cost, no amount to small I am grateful and appreciative of it all. If you read this entire thing THANK YOU! . Thank you for being you and supporting me during my fight!
