Exclamation Oops I Forgot

I forgot to add -- I was initially diagnosed as 4th stage invasive lobular carcinoma w/2 out of 18 nodes. My tumor was 9 cm. The size of my hand. Unseen 8 mnths prior in mammography. It felt like my breast was thicker, like a dense sponge was inside. Not a lump. Never a marble or a pea. I had done self examines the first of every mnth.

A radiologist told me that she hates lobular because it hides! And then, when it is found, is huge! Advanced. Still, I defied the odds. And here I am, 5 grandchildren later. You can do it too! You need attitude, girl! Serious intense passionate attitude! WIHT LOVE... ANDI
