Julene is a breast cancer survivor and Harley rider. Here’s how she tells her story.
‘It was 1999 when I had a mammogram that indicated small cysts in both breasts; nothing to worry about, just a heads up to have regular mammograms. I’m glad I did!
In August 2007, 4 years after losing my mother to cancer, I had a mammogram as part of my regular program and was diagnosed with breast cancer. A month later, following a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy, I was greatly relieved to learn that I would only need a course of radiotherapy and hormone therapy. I know I am one of the lucky ones.
My diagnosis was a wake up call to get on with life, to make every day a good one. I am so excited to be joining the Project Highways Altitude and Attitude ride in India. Any donation you make will help promote the awareness of cancer in India, and assist people to access the medical treatment and support they will need.’
God bless!

I'm picking up my Mammogram from 2008 to compare it with one recently done. They are concerned with cysts found and want to see if there is any changes. I was searching the internet on info and that's how I found you.
