"Your Too Young..."

"Your too young to have Breast Cancer" those were the words the first surgeon I had consulted with told me, he even proceeded in telling me "Let me just insert a needle and secrete the liquid from the cyst and call it a day"...Call it a day?!! As I said it in disbelief. I'm not hypochondriac at all...I am the last kid that would get sick in school, I am the last person that would call and sick to work...I AM the last person who would ever get sick but this...this is different I feel something weird. I literally have to beg the doctor to order all the tests, after numerous tests I couldn't reach the surgeon I had first consulted with, so I had then asked for a different doctor...they then gave me the Head of General Surgery, the test results shows that I had a solid mass cyst (not liquid...mind you the 1st doctor said he will just insert a needle and secrete the liquid and call it a day) after numerous test my new surgeon had then advised me of biopsy. One afternoon on April 26, 2000 at a young age of 26, I received a phone call from my doctor "You have Breast Cancer..." the words after that I did not hear...all I kept on hearing is YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER. I was in shock and disbelief, how can this happen to me, nobody in my family ever had Cancer...I'm only 26...it can���t be. I had to make a decision soon of what I needed to do...within 2 weeks after diagnosis I was wheeled in surgery room this time it is for Radical Mastectomy...yes at age 26...I lost my "boobie" to cancer. All 15 lymph nodes that was taken out were Negative for Cancer...the doctor told me that this is the best news I could ever have, I refused all treatments, after all it did not spread...I was optimistic. I was in remission for over 5 years when I had then received ANOTHER disturbing call...on September 28, 2005 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer...AGAIN!!! This time it was found on my right breast...I took radiation treatments. By the time I reached the age of 33 I had faced 2 Breast Cancer. I am 35 now and still in remission���STILL optimistic. I am still fighting this disease...a battle that I KNOW I will NOT lose.
