Listen To Your Intuition
It was April of 2023, Lisa had an intuition that something was wrong with her body. She began experiencing sharp electric type pains in her breast, along with a nagging cough and skin changes.
Lisa knew that something was off.
On May 9, 2024 Lisa received her diagnosis; Stage One Breast Cancer. Estrogen + Progesterone positive, her 2 negative. Shortly after her diagnosis, Lisa began her treatment plan. She met with Dr. Leibman who preformed a lumpectomy on June 7th. Two weeks later her pathology indicated that her mass had clear margins, meaning there were no cancer cells remaining at the edge from where the tissue was removed during surgery. The size of the mass was 1cm, and there was no lymph node involvement.
Surgery was a success, although Lisa was still not out of the woods. She then underwent 19 rounds of radiation.
Lisa will continue on Tamoxifen hormonal therapy for ten years.
