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!

Just found out my step father has skin cancer. He had some moles removed the other day and one came back as cancerous, another was pre-cancerous. He is having Mohs Micrographic Surger on March 29th. It sounds like him and my mom are bummed that it has come back cancerous, but are staying strong. I guess Mohs Micrographic Surger has a 99% success rate, which I was glad to hear. It seems once you start talking about cancer you realize how it effects everyone.
