Meet Rosy, Misdiagnosed At 45 And Diagnosed At 47
I’m a widow.
At 45, I was misdiagnosed.
A mammogram screening missed the lump.
I was told it was a cyst, that it was hormonal,
and that it would go away.
After two years with the lump growing, I took charge and went to a different doctor. They did a biopsy and the results came back...
I was diagnosed with breast cancer: invasive ductal carcinoma, stage 2, grade 3.
I did genetic testing because I have 2 sisters and a teenage daughter, and I wanted peace of mind.
Thank God my cancer wasn’t genetic, making me the first in my family to have cancer.
I consulted 3 different doctors because I was in denial. But finally, I met a great team of doctors at Mays UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Chemo: June 8, 2017-October 2017
Successful Partial Mastectomy: November 2017
13 lymph nodes removed (By the grace of God, all were negative.)
Radiation: February 2018-March 9th, 2018 (I was given an awesome certificate!)
I felt very proud and blessed because God had my back all the time.
I am currently in active treatments (Herceptin + Zoladex), and I should say with pride and joy that there is No Evidence of Disease!
My routine to keeping cancer cells dormant are: prayer, exercise, and eating a balanced diet.
I have integrated weights into my exercise routine, and I walk faithfully. I call them my "faithful4Life" walks. I laugh more, pray more, and forgive more.
My diet is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle to help me restore my health! This is my story and I am very blessed to share it with you!
Thank you for sharing your story, Rosy. SBC loves you!
