Kristin's Journey: July 2010

Three years...feels like yesterday...feels like forever.
I cannot believe all the things that have happened, that I have seen, learned and done.
I am grateful each day for every day that I have been given...

Background

In early June 2007 I went to see a new doctor for my yearly exam. My mom recommended I ask for a base line mammogram because of family history.
On June 27th I went in for my mammogram. While I was there I saw a notice on the wall letting patients know that if this was their first mammogram they shouldn't be surprised if they received a letter asking them to come back as sometimes they did not get good photos on the base line.
On July 7th I received such a letter. I had a moment where I thought and cried, "what if there is something?" I called first thing Monday and made an appointment for Friday. When I called I was told they wanted to look at both breasts again, so I told myself they just didn't get good pictures.
Friday the 13th of July 2007 I found out I have Breast Cancer. I had my second mammogram and then an ultra sound. The doctor came in a told me they wanted to do a biopsy.
I didn't get the actual results until the following week, but the 13th was the day I knew what was later confirmed.
And so began my Journey.....
