It all started Aug of 08

While doing a routine breast self check I found a little bump in my areola just right of my nipple.I figured it was nothing probably just a clogged milk duct.Went to the Dr he suggested I see a surgeon, just to be on the safe side. He assured me it was probably nothing but he would sleep better at night knowing it was taken care of. Went to see the surgeon, and he recommended a needle guided biopsy. The following week, I went for the appointment. I was laying on the table terrified because I've never had any procedure done EVER,I've only given birth to 3 beautiful children. When the Dr came in and looked on the ultrasound he said"that little thing?" "That's just a swollen lymph node. So you can imagine my relief to hear that. The Dr went out, told my husband what was going on, and that I'd be right out.He wanted me to follow up in 3 months with him. So we left there thrilled, and went out to dinner to celebrate. The next Month I turned 40. When November came my husband lost his job due to the continueing decline of the Automotive Industry. No job, meant no Insurance. Which unfortunately meant, no 3 month follow up.
