The lump was benign. I am writing this article for one reason only and that is to urge all of you single moms out there to please have a breast exam and a mammogram. The National Cancer Institute recommends that if you are over 50 or have fibrocystic breasts that you do this every year. Women 40 and over should go every one to two years. I found it very comforting to know that if anything were found it ould be in the early stages.
Early detection does save lives.
You owe it to yourselves and to your precious children to take good care of yourselves. Remember, your decisions no longer just affect you.
