Florence’s Story (Breast Cancer)

Florence Myer (Breast Cancer) Just want to stress how important early detection is!

Five years ago this week 4/23/12 I was told I had breast cancer. That is the last thing anybody wants to hear. However, because of early detection I am proud to say: I am a 5 year ”cancer free” survivor.

I didn’t have a lump or any sign at all…Thanks again to annual mammograms!!
