After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I did what many patients do: chemotherapy, followed by more chemotherapy, and then I got married.
I remember I woke up at two in the morning, rolled over and felt a lump in my breast. I met with my doctor, Dr. Smiltneek, and once they confirmed the cancer, we talked about the surgeons in the area and the various treatment options I could expect.
