In 1991, I discovered a lump in my right breast. Within weeks after having a mammogram confirmation, I underwent a lumpectomy, dissection of seven lymph nodes, and a regime of chemotherapy and radiation. Fast forward to 2004. My yearly mammogram indicated a small cluster in my left breast. A biopsy and ultrasound confirmed a malignant growth. Within weeks again, I was undergoing surgery. I opted for a bilateral mastectomy with TRAM reconstruction. Today I am healthy, fit, and very thankful for the mammogram program. Having regular mammograms has literally saved my life.
