2 weeks ago a close friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer

she is 46, a mother of young ones

stage 2, irregular shaped tumor the size of a lime

she found the lump

had a mammogram last september, nothing showed

has gone to 2 doctors for 2 opinions

and now 2 very different approaches to treatment

anyone here familiar with the treatment of breast cancer?

if you would like to stay private about it, please pm me

I lost a close friend over 2 years ago to breast cancer after a 6 year fight

ladies please please please do self breast exams and mammograms at least every year

also, if there was breast cancer in your family, ask for a MRI instead of the mammogram
