Get your mammogram!
You DO NOT need a doctor’s order. Just Google it!
We all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month… and this year, I became VERY aware!
I’m a little late posting this because I’ve been busy experiencing breast cancer firsthand!
A routine mammogram found it. No symptoms. No lumps. No pain. Negative genetic testing. Nothing to suggest anything was wrong.
Thankfully, it was caught early. And God Bless all the women that have gone before me, advanced the science and the surgical approach, to make my journey easier with more options. I’ve had surgery and am now undergoing radiation treatments. My prognosis is excellent!
As an emergency medicine nurse practitioner and founder of Texas One Life CPR & Safety Training, I’ve spent over 20 years caring for others. Now I’m experiencing healthcare from the other side! And no matter how many lettters you have after your name, you still have to ask your care team a lot of questions, boldly advocate for yourself, and pray.
My message is simple: PLEASE get your mammograms! Don’t wait for symptoms.
Early detection saves lives AND gives you OPTIONS!
At Texas One Life, we believe every life is worth saving. That includes yours! ❤️
