Wayne, In the early 90's, I was getting ready to exit the corporate world....and insurance....to start our own business. I wanted my beloved wife to go get all of her check-ups before the insurance was gone. The mammogram showed something unusual and so they did a needle biopsy.....positive. Surgery scheduled. It was an intro-ductal carcinoma.....meaning it hadn't left the milk duct. A lumpectomy was performed. We had caught it as early was possible and this was in the day when the thoughts about radical masectomy's were being re-evaluated. So, they just took the duct and left a scar. it was 2 days from the positive finding to surgery. 5 weeks of radiation was the only follow-up treatment....no chemo. The oncologist even said the radiation probably wasn't necessary, but nobody in the health industry was willing to make that call. She survived for 20+ years before she got other cancer that was not curable. arno
