Rose, I want to thank you as well as my husband and children for saving my life. I don't know if you remember me but I was breastfeeding my 6-month-old baby and felt a huge ball-like lump in my breast. All of the doctors said it was plugged ducts. I called lactation and they said the same. Then I talked to you in person and you looked at me and said, "I've been doing this way too long!" And right there you referred me to get an ultrasound. I got an ultrasound and on that day I found out that I had Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I have done Chemo, had my surgery and now I am off to radiation. Last week I got my pathology report back and I am 100% cancer-free. Thank you for your referral and for saving my life.
