I'm a 3 year breast cancer survivor. My story is a little different from most in the fact that I found out I had cancer after it was out of my body. I had a breast reduction and when they biopsied the tissues taken out they then discovered that I had cancer. I am now on tamoxifen for two more years but I was so lucky that I had the surgery when I did. When I went to my surgeon to have the stitches out the surgeon was on voice rest so the nurse told me that "by the way you had cancer" I couldn't believe my ears and how casually she told me. So now I'm the chairperson for our Relay. Our Relay is going into its third year. We still have a long way to go to build it up. If anyone has ideas on how to get the community involved I would appreciate the input. I can't seem to get people involved. I have been the chairperson since our Relay began.
