A breast cancer story from an Asian perspective

<p>"I was first diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer, DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), on May 15, 2015, at 41 years old. I had my annual exam with my gynecologist and told him I felt a small, pea-sized lump under my right armpit close to my breast. He confirmed what I felt and said it was probably nothing but still wanted me to get a mammogram. I got an appointment the next day, and with much squeezing, because my itty-bitties measured as A minuses (in size), the technician couldn’t find or see anything during the mammogram. But I told her where I felt the lump, and she also felt it, so she brought out the ultrasound machine."</p> <p>Bianca Haines is a patient advocate.</p> <p>She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "<a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/2022/07/candid-about-my-breast-cancer.html">Candid about my breast cancer</a>."</p> <p><strong>Did you enjoy today’s episode?</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.kevinmdpodcast.com/rate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rate and review</a> the show so more audiences can find <strong>The Podcast by KevinMD</strong>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.kevinmdpodcast.com/follow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe on your favorite podcast app</a> to get notified when a new episode comes out.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://earnc.me/xU2BiB" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Click here to earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CME</a> for this episode.</strong></p> <p>Also available in <a href= "https://www.kevinmdpodcast.com/p/cme/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Category 1 CME bundles</a>.</p> <p><em>Powered by CMEfy - a seamless way for busy clinician learners to discover Internet Point-of-Care Learning opportunities that reward AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)<span role="image" aria-label="™">™</span>. <a href="https://about.cmefy.com/cme-info" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-token-index="3" data-reactroot="">Learn more at about.cmefy.com/cme-info</a></em></p>
