Metastatic Breast Cancer.
I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer on March 3, 2023. What started out as what I thought was an injured hip, it turned out to be much more. Had I not tripped over our new cat in late November 2022; it would have taken longer to be diagnosed. I had done all the things you are supposed to do to detect breast cancer, I had a mammogram with 3D rendering, I had my annual well woman physical with an exam, plus a third physical exam as late as October. Nothing caught it. Speak up, you are your best advocate when it comes to your health.
It has been and continues to be long, difficult journey, one that I have decided to stay positive on. I like to focus on the saying that continues to give me strength: Face the Storm.
I ask each and every one of you to get checked early and often. Talk to your medical provider about screening today.
