Re: Live interview on my local news
Kristin,
I thought you did a great job. I too was dismissed by several Doctors because I was breastfeeding my son. I kept being told I had a blocked milk duct and that I just wasn't trying hard enough to breastfeed. When I was finally diagnosed (6 months after I first went to my Doctor), I went back to all the Doctors to let them know, in hopes that if another young Mom comes in that they will take it more seriously. The only reason that they finally sent me to a breast specialist was because I stopped breastfeeding and the lump was still there. I had to stop as very little milk was coming out of the cancer side, due to cancer blocking the way. I had no family history and had just turned 31 years old. My son was 7 months at diagnosis and he is now almost 3 years old. I don't post often, but you and your family are in my thoughts.
