Cause: Breast Cancer

The golf ball sized lump in my left breast appeared seemingly overnight. My PCP had done a breast exam at a checkup a few months prior. It was not there then, or at least we couldn’t feel it. I told myself, it appeared so fast, it had to be a …

Breast cancer has been a part of my life since I was 12 years old. My mother was diagnosed when she was 42 years old. Roughly 10 years later, it came back metastatic and she passed away in 2000, at the age of 56. Ever since, I knew it was …

I have battled breast cancer multiple times. I had it in 1985, 1997, and 2015. It has been a long journey, but by the grace of God and with support from friends I met on a cancer website, I am here to watch my kids and grandson grow up ❤. …

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and here is my long story. I found my lump when I was 21 years old, and had finished nursing my son. I went to my doctor and he told me not to worry about it because I was too young. At …
