Misdiagnosed at First: Susan's 20-Year Breast Cancer Story | The Patient Story

Susan shares her deeply personal breast cancer journey of over 20 years. When Susan was 50, her husband, who is a physician, found a lump in her left breast. Susan then felt the hard, pea-sized lump. She then scheduled a fine needle aspiration biopsy. The doctor took 3 samples and incorrectly told Susan he didn't think it was anything. After they surgically removed what was thought to be a benign lump, a pathology report later showed it was indeed breast cancer. 10 years later, she was diagnosed for a second time.

In this story, she shares getting misdiagnosed at first, the multiple surgeries she went through, the different chemotherapy regimens, radiation, and the difficult side effects.
