I want every single person (men too if you want:) who reads this to do a breast self-exam tonight.
That is how I found my cancer. My cancer did not show up on mammogram and mammograms are not even recommended for women my age. I found it and I pursued it. I still do not have a clear picture of treatment and prognosis (still waiting on more diagnostics), but I do know that it would have been much, much worse had I not found this now.
This can happen to anyone. To emphasize this point even more.....I have a good friend who told me that she has 3 friends, all under the age of 40, who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past two months.
Do your self exam. Now.

Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI just heard through Sue Fleck. I don't think I know anyone as fit you, and that's a great way to go into this. The whole Maziarz clan is hoping and praying for you. And thanks for sharing this. I know you didn't even like getting your picture taken for the calendar a few years ago, so I'm sure this wasn't easy. You'll do great!

Jen-
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have to go through this. We'll be praying for you from down here. And I am now committed to monthly exams, seriously.
Lots of love,
Erica
