My first three great aunts died by age 40.  Then my aunt won by age 36. Then my grandma won by age 39.  I found my first lump at age 34 and was told is was nothing to worry about, but I fought my insurance and got my mammo and was told I had cancer. One lumpectumy later and 1 year later it was back. Another surgery and another year later it was back, now here I am at Relay for Life on my 37 birthday and having a double mastectemy on May 14, 2008 with reconstruction.  I hope my battle will soon be over.  For others out there stay strong and believe God will give us strength and A CURE.
