FAQ

Posted by Valkat on 4/3/2000 from 207.175.251.48:
I and a mamogram in 1996 at it was clear
again in 1997 UCLA aid it was clear.

Feb of 2000 I had a mamoggram and a tumor are show up. They wanted to take extra views and/or am ultrasound but if I get my mamos from UCLA it might not be necessaey. The mamos arieved and a tumor was present on the 1997 UCLA mamosgrams and a tumor was present but overlood by the radiologist. So the current Dr could not measure it. A Biosopy was order and came back maligant. Ijust had my lymph nodes removed god knows what nexts. I ask my Dr how could the gods of UCLA over look this tumor! He said that they just think they are gods and they goofed (no ones perfet!). So for 2 1/2 years I have had breast cancer. Am I going to die becauses it is 2 1/2 years late ? What would have happen if the radiologist noticed the tumor 2 1/2 years ago? I am 45 and just a kid (rock n' roll - Sting & Red Chillies Pepper Fan). All I have is old ladies (60 & 70's ) to share their stories. I want to know about having childern or the effects of treatment in my on born child? Will I live to see her grow up or even be born?
