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!

Hi Jill,

Can you send me your e-mail address? I am going to plan a small girls happy hour next week between Boulder and Denver for yourself, Virg, Meggles and myself. Before things get hectic for the holidaze. Hope your well. Can’t wait to meet you. I still owe you that coffee!
