Once I realized that they were just boobs and I could certainly
survive with them as easily as without them I was fine. I so want to
see my kids grow up and I have used my boobs for what they were
intended for.
The last three mammograms I've had have shown shaddows. More
mamograms, then sonograms then biopsies have gotten me tired, and
fearful
I'm high risk insurance wise anyway because my Son was 5 weeks early
and has severe asthma so insurance means little to me.
Then this summer my dad's mom was diagnosed. That was the straw that
broke the camels back.
Its time for me to know and get it taken care of for me and my
children and then move on with my life without the fear I've been
feeling.
