I was diagnosed on October 2014, had lumpectomy and radiation and then seven years of Tamoxifen, regular checkups and mammograms. I had GREAT care, and was able to establish a relationship with a ground-breaking oncologist connected to Duke University Health System.
Not everyone can afford that, so I walk to raise money for two of Komen's primary benefits:
1. Mammograms and screenings for those who can't afford them.
2. Continued research that makes the experience after a diagnosis easier.
Thank you for your support.
