Re: A Breast Oncologist, Diagnosed With The Disease

What an inspiring story. We have to get our mammograms. I have always been faithful but in 2003 I was going on a cruise, working full time and just too busy. I was 2 months late and what a surprise I got, Inflammatory Breast Cancer stage IIIb. It would not have made much difference, but I always go on the day it is due now. Mary L
