My Story!

This is the beginning of my story.
In April of 2010 I noticed a lump or knot, I call it a knot. In my right breast behind my nipple, off to the left side. I remember thinking that it was strange since it wasn't there before, but I have a lot of cyst so I figure it was just because I was having my monthly period. So just didn't give it too much concern, it will go away when I finish my period. Didn't give it no mind for the rest of the month.

May rolled around and it's that time again and the you know what was still there. Hard and a little bigger. I told my youngest daughter about it and she came to look at it. I ask her to feel of it and she said no I can see it. She told me I need to have it checked out. I told her I couldn't since I didn't have any insurance. Later on that month I was changing for bed one night and I noticed that the breast was taking a different shape. It looked like it was caving in under the Areola I thought that was strange. I text my youngest daughter and told her my breast was caving in. She said I got to come see this. She came down stairs and I showed her. She said "Mom you really need to have that checked out." By this time it has gotten harder and bigger. The nipple was really sticking out and the knot was really noticeable. Went to go visit my oldest daughter and showed her. She suggested that I wait and see if the knot is still there come June's month cycle.

Come June it was still there. So I knew it was not right and it should not be there and it was not going away. So what can I do? I had no insurance. I decided to apply for JPS Connection. I printed the application on line filled it out and gathered all the info i needed to fax it in. I waited, waited and waited never heard from them. I finally called and talked to the social worker that was handling my case and she said she needed a bank statement. That's hard to send when you don't have one. I went on line and look at my Ace statement and printed it out and faxed it in. Still heard nothing.

Continued at a later time stay tune for more!
