another sad breast cancer story
mid thirties patient of mine felt a small lump in breast
mammogram confirmed a probable breast cancer
it was confirmed with a biopsy
it was an aggressive breast cancer
was treated aggressively with surgery and chemotherapy
she had every 3-4 mo followup visits with surgeon
she had a normal mammogram a year later
however a few months later she came to my office
for a lump in her scar
it was confirmed to be a reoccurence of the breast cancer
she had metastatic lesions in her brain
was treated by radiation
she died a few months later leaving a young husband and
two teen age children
