I was diagnosed with breast cancer at ages 26 and 36. Twenty-six,
I had no family history of breast cancer. I didn't know much about breast cancer and
all I know was what I saw on the news or on billboards, and you were supposed to be
40 to get breast cancer. So, why would I ever imagine that I had breast cancer?
One day, I was going to a party, saw this dress online that I wanted from Bebe,
called the Bebe Store, they didn't have it. They said they would order it.
Okay, fine. Comes in. I go to the store and pick it up, but as I get there,
she's unloading it out of this weird packaging. So, that night at the party
when I wore the dress, I was itching all night, and because I'm allergic to
everything, I thought it was just something in the packaging that was making
me itch or irritated. So, that night when I got home, even once I took the
dress off, I was still itching, but I was only itching in my left breast. So,
while laying there, I felt something small maybe like pea size, but even with feeling
that, I didn't think that it was cancer. I thought it was maybe a cyst or a tumor or
something that came along with the itching or with the irritation.
So, kind of touched it all night and then the next day at work,
woke up, still was itching. So, I made an appointment to go to see the doctor just
to get some Benadryl or whatever they were going to give me because I had been taking
Benadryl and Morphine and it still wasn't working, but still only left breast
was itching. So, I went to the doctor and he gave me a Benadryl shot or whatever and
I was fine. Like, "Oh my god, good." Almost instantly stopped itching,
got dressed, had my coat on, went out of the office and as I was leaving the office
before I got to the nursing station, I turned around and doctor was still
standing there and I pulled my shirt up and said, "Oh yeah, and I feel something
in my chest." So, my appointment was over. So, I could've just gone on back home
because I had already taken the rest of the day off work whatever, and he said,
"What?" I said, "There's a spider in my chest." When I was scratching, I felt this
spider and he said, "Go back in the room, go back in the room." Took me back into
the room, got a nurse to come in and I settled back on the table.
He felt it and he said, "Oh, this is nothing, black women always get cysts and
that's probably what it is because you know what...but just to make you feel
better, I'm going to send you to get an ultrasound." He said, "Matter of fact,
just to humor myself, I'm even going to put on you to get you a mammogram." I
said, "Okay, fine." And it wasn't my regular doctor. He said my regular doctor
was at the main house doing rounds. I said, "Okay, whatever."
So, once I got home, I called my ma and told my ma what was going on and she said,
"Oh yeah, Aunt Issie [SP] has a lot of cysts in her breast." So,
I definitely felt like, "Oh well, this just a family thing." [inaudible 00:02:45]
said is nothing and black women get this. So, the next day at work sitting at work,
they were getting on my nerves. I was sick of it for the day. I was like, "You know
what? Go to this appointment, you'll finally get some time off today, and go
ahead and get this ultrasound done." Called the ultrasound place,"Yeah,
we can get you in a day." "Cool, I'm leaving work now, on my way." Go and get
the ultrasound, and wow, they're so cold in these places, and after she did the
ultrasound, I said, "Can I get dressed?" She said, "No, wait a minute." I said,
"Okay." So, it was like 15 minutes, she said...I see people walking by but
nobody is coming back in to get me." I said...put my head outside the door
and said, "Can I get dressed now." And they said, "No, we're going to redo
your ultrasound, some of the pictures weren't right." Said, "Okay fine."
So, repeat, come back, sit down. About 10 minutes later, I'm like, "Can I get
dressed?" And it's like, "No. No, because you're about to do a mammogram." And in
that moment, I said, "I have cancer."
