The Scars We Carry: A Breast Cancer Memoir in Poems
The Scars We Carry: A Breast Cancer Memoir in Poems portrays life before, during, and after cancer. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 38 years old. Since I was at a higher risk of developing breast cancer due to the family history, I started having yearly mammograms when I was 28 years old. Eleven years later, the first calcifications were discovered, and at 41 years old, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Prior to the diagnosis, I was getting two mammograms and two manual exams per year. If not for the intense monitoring, life may have turned out differently for me.
Even with having a family history of breast cancer, I was still not prepared for the experience.
