Hi Liz, I am sorry that you may have been delayed diagnosed with breast cancer. I also wish you the very best. Since you have her2+ microinvasive breast cancer, you may want to visit her2support, as there are a lot of hot tips for the her2 positives to help prevent a relapse. Look me up there, I sign on as RobinP.

Hi Lori,
I just love Young Survivor’s Coalition and know it is a great group for young women diagnosed with breast cancer. I sign on there as Robin, if you ever look me up.

Robin-
I too think that I may have been diagnosed initially for benign micro calcifications when indeed 1 1/2 years later(at the age of 38) turned out to be cancer that was DCIS with a her2+++ microinvasive component. I have not pursed legal action. I try not to think about the past but do worry since I am only a 1 year survivor and a mom of 3 young children, many times I feel like a time bomb. The only postive that came out of my misdiagnosis was that I went on to have my 3rd child otherwise, I would not had another baby if I had been diagnosed with breast cancer earlier. I pray to God that I will be around to raise my children. I too feel that the radiologist was biased because of my age when he read my mammograms 1 1/2 years earlier. This is scary since breast cancer tends to be very agressive in younger women. Our prognotic foctors are proof of that. I am very happy to see that your story had a happy ending and you are enjoying life with your family. Wishing you the very best.
