About 12 years ago my Mother was diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 breast cancer our world was turned upside down. It was a very difficult seeing my Mother sick all the time. The hardest part about the cancer was seeing her deal with the chemotherapy and the radiation therapy. Shortly after she started the chemotherapy she began losing her hard. She ended up shaving her head. I can still see the sadness and fear in her face as we shaved her head. I was glad to be there to support her during the chemotherapy. She had a close call in the hospital when her blood pressure bottomed out. When she went through radiation I remember seeing the markings on her breasts. She had a port in her chest which gave her the chemotherapy. The doctors called the chemotherapy ‘the yellow devil’. It was one of the strongest chemotherapy medications at the time. I’ve learned a lot from seeing her struggle with the disease for almost and how she had to rebuild her life. I know how important it is to get the digital mammography every year and breast exams each month .To me it is wonderful how much technology help in the diagnosis of breast cancer. If it was not for technolgy millinos of women would not be alive today

I’m sorry to hear that. Breast cancer is a serious problem. very important to always see the changes that occur in the breast, especially if there is a bulge in it
