But going and having a mammogram every year , helped to get it in the early stages. My Aunt hat her first breast removed when she was in her forties, second one when she was in her seventies. she was the most classie person I ever knew .She lived to a wonderfull age of 92. She never ever gave up.

I was diagnosed at 32 and am currently 7 years cancer free. You are never too young and don't ever let anyone tell you that you are! Be Aware, check your Breasts...make NOYS!

You are totally right, us, women, have to take care of ourselves, and that starts with getting a mammogram. Just like you said, be smart, be aware! :) Hi Darlene,
thank you so much for that inspiring testimony. You are totally right, us, women, have to take care of ourselves, and that starts with getting a mammogram.
Just like you said, be smart, be aware! :)

My name is Darlene, I just turned 40 in March.. the 7th to be exact. I did not go in to it easy.. dreaded the big 40. Being a single mom of 4 and working full time, I find little time to worry about me, that is until I found out just weeks ago that two friends of mine, one 40 and the other 38, was diagnosed with breast cancer. both cases requiring a mastectomy. The biggest wake up call ever!. I have a mammogram booked in a few months as a waiting list there is..and regular paps as well..Ladies beware and be fair to yourselves. we spend most of our lives caring and worrying about everyone else. It is time to look after us.. otherwise we are useless to anyone. be smart be aware! God Bless! Darlene hi.. My name is Darlene, I just turned 40 in March.. the 7th to be exact.
