Cancer Symptoms:

I found a lump in my left breast while putting on my bra that snaps in the front. I don’t think I would of found this if it wasn’t for the placement of it being so close to the edge of my breast and close to the snap. I also would feel a tingling sensation in the area every now and then, sometimes it would itch a little.

Surgery Description, Dates & Side Effects:

My first surgery was on September 22, 2005 where I had a lump in my breast removed. I got the call on September 26th that is was cancerous. My second re-excision surgery was on October 5th.

Radiation Description, Dates & Side Effects:

I did six weeks of radiation starting on October 26, 2005. What a whirlwind those months were!

Post-mastectomy Clothing

Found this on the web today and wanted to pass it on. Here is a description of T-shirt:
“i made this t-shirt specifically for the 2006 ny susan g. komen walk in central park. i was opposed to the over-sized and over-printed-with-sponsors t-shirts so at the last minute i whipped up this song bird. the printed fabric is from a t-shirt that i purchased at urban outfitters and sacrificed for the race, the cause. it’s pretty awkward at the neckline but i still embrace its crafty spontaneous edges.”
