MAKESHA’s STORY
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on the left breast at 35 years of age on November 23, 2009. I found the lump myself but didn’t start worrying until two weeks later. The lump got bigger and painful. I did not have insurance so I was informed to apply for county ins. Well that was a process. Once I was approved and was scheduled an appointment, the Dr. evaluated me and recommend I have an ultrasound. However with the county you have to get a referral which takes up to 10 days for each procedure . The test showed a large mass. Dr. then put in a referral to see a surgeon. Then surgeon put in referral for biopsy. By then a month has passed and I was diagnosed with aggressive 3rd stage cancer.
Was admitted but I had to go home and get things taken care of being a single parent and all. I left on a Friday and returned that Tuesday for a left mastectomy and lymph nodes. I thank god everyday for allowing me to beat cancer.
However, every time I look at myself I feel ugly, unattractive, and now I feel as though no man will ever want me because I’m not fully proportioned. I have been searching for an organization to help me for the last four years on reconstructing my left breast.
