that I felt, but I demanded a mammogram regardless, even though I was told I was wasting time and resources. When that mammogram and the biopsy that followed showed abnormal results, indicating breast cancer, I was told by my ob-gyn, “This is the best type of cancer to have.”I was then referred to a surgeon and decided to move forward with a bilateral mastectomy. The CT scan I got as part of that process revealed something suspicious on my sternum, so many more tests, biopsies, and scans followed.
