On Sunday, June 28, 2015 while watching the BET Awards Show with my family, I felt a sharp pain in my right breast. As I went to clutch my breast, my hand rolled over a large, raised and warm lump the size of at least 2 quarters in both length and width. I immediately ran to our bedroom crying hysterically and called my parents -- "what is this?". The next day on Monday, June 29th, I scheduled an appointment with my Primary Care Physician in order to get a referral for a mammogram and ultrasound. The day after, while at the Radiologist, he broke the news that I had a solid 4 cm mass in my right breast that must be ruled out for breast cancer -- I fainted in his office!! Before I could even get back at home, my PCP's office had already scheduled an appointment for me with a surgeon the next day. On July 10, 2015 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This is my journey.
