| Hello, my name is Rita. I was first diagnosed with cancer in my right breast in 1997 and was treated with lumpectomy, radiation and Tamoxifen. In 2000, cancer was discovered in the same breast and I had a mastectomy. Nearly a year later, ?I developed swelling and terrible pain in the breast area only to find out I had a hemotoma from the surgery that had to be lanced, and packed. This cleaning and packing procedure was carried out for about 4 months while I healed from the inside out. I did not opt for reconstructive surgery. I'm doing well today and hope to get throught the next 2 years so I can say "I'm cancer free". I can be reached at Riden@bellsouth.net My name is Abbe. I'm 51 yrs. old and this July, I will be a 3 year breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in my right breast in June 2000. I had no positive lymph nodes. I had my treatments of chemotherapy. Following the chemo, I started reconstruction with an expander and then a saline implant. I have been on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years. I started going to "Your Bosom Buddies II" in August 2000. It was the absolute best thing I could have ever done for myself. The support and knowledge I have obtained from the group was far beyond my expectations. The friendships that have developed from this group are incredible. I am so grateful to have all my Bosom Buddies in my life. These are bonds that will never by broken, these are my friends that listen with their hearts. Anyone can contact me at msabberoad@aol.com Hello, my name is Susie. I discovered a lump in my right breast May of 1998 and after a whirlwind of doctor's appointments, I had a lumpectomy and was diagnosed with "Cancer". I had a mastectomy with immediate recontruction. I elected to have a trans-flap (AKA tummy tuck) to reconstruct my breast with my own tissue. For the past 4+ years I have been on tamoxifen and for the past three years have been getting and giving support as part of "Your Bosom Buddies II", a great support group. If you need to talk, e-mail me at susieqmd410@aol.com... Hello my name is Jacqueline. In 1992, I married a wonderful man. In 1993 we decided to get pregnant. So I went for a routine and complete check up. This included of course a mammagram. The look on everyone's face was obvious, something was wrong. The radiologist just said it could be and probably is calcification, but he wanted it taken out just the same. Even the surgeon said it at the appointment that it's probably nothing. Well it even shocked the surgeon when the biopsy came back positive. So I had two lumpectomies. Make sure for clean edges. No treatment necessary I was told because I caught it early. Have as many babies as you want. So we did. We then moved to Florida... Continued on Next Page... |
