As a middle school
reading teacher and breast cancer
survivor and activist, , I'm constantly on the
lookout for vital and informative
literature for my students. "Taking Care
of Your Girls" by oncologist and founder
of

Great informative book for young

promoting a healthful life. |

May 11th, NBC 5 with
Nesita Kwan aired a segment about my
cancer journey. Students from my classes walked with me along with their
mom's in the annual Y-Me Race down in
Grant Park - Chicago, IL. Early
detection is the key and with Digital
Mammography I can safely say it saved my
life. View the video segment that aired
on Mother's Day! |

DuPage Imaging Center
in Hinsdale is affiliated with the
Adventist Health System. I've used
DuPage Imaging for many years. In fact,
it's been the only imaging center I've
ever used. They have several locations,
but the two I use are more local for me
and have Digital Mammography capability.
I encourage you to always check for
Digital Mammography capability. It has
the clearest resolution and emits 25%
less radiation than the standard
mammogram. |

Y-ME
began over 30 thirty years ago to
insure, through information, empowerment
and peer support, that no one faces
breast cancer alone.
A breast cancer diagnosis can be
overwhelming. Right away, you’re
confronted by uncertainty about the
future and questions from family,
friends and your health care team. Your
head is spinning, and you don’t know
where to turn – until you find Y-ME.
Y-ME has been a trusted
resource for 30 years and has helped
thousands find the information they need
to make educated decisions. From
articles on our Web site to the
knowledge of our Your Shoes peer
counselors on the 24/7 Hotline keeps you informed. While we
don’t give medical advice, we do explain
in plain language the information you’re
likely to encounter. No matter what the
breast cancer topic is, Y-ME provides information you can
trust with a survivor’s touch. |

Breast Cancer. Org
has invaluable information on Breast
Cancer. I researched my particular type
of cancer on their site and found
information on treatment options and
breast cancer's latest research
developments. Very helpful site. |

For up to date
information on Cancer, the American
Cancer Society was a key resource for
me. I utilized their website extensively
while researching my breast cancer. It
was very helpful when I met with my
oncologist and radiologist and
formulated a treatment plan. |

For over 20 years,
The Pink Bra has devoted themselves to
infusing confidence, femininity, and
luxury into the lives of women in all
journeys of life. I found this site
after I was fitted at "Naturally Yours"
in Willowbrook, IL, and searched for
additional bras. They have great
pricing, which helps if you don't have
insurance to cover additional bra
purchases through insurance. The "Amoena
- Kelly Soft Cup" has been my favorite
bra. It's provided enough compression to
be comfortable while it helps me to keep
my Lymphadema away. There's a wide
variety of bras available - check it
out! |

Edward Cancer Center
in Naperville, Illinois, was the Cancer
Center I chose for treatment. My mother
had been diagnosed with Lymphoma two
years prior to my breast cancer
diagnosis, and died the year before.
Edward treated my mother with
compassion, respect, and dignity, and I
knew immediately that it was the right
place for me. My oncologist, Dr. Hantel,
and radiologist, Dr. Lingareddy have
been my physicians and the entire team
of doctors does a fabulous job of taking
care of the "whole" patient. |

One radiation
option that was available to me was
Mammosite. Here are testimonies of women
who used this particular radiation
therapy. I chose the traditional method

felt it best for my needs. |

Upon
recommendation of my occupational
therapist, I sought out "Naturally
Yours" in Willowbrook, which is on the
southwest side of Chicago. They
specialize in Hair and Breast
Prostheses. Appointments are required
and I found them to be very
compassionate and helpful. They fit me
perfectly for my compression bras upon
the specifications my OT provided. And
they handled insurance claims for
payment when a prescription was written
by my radiologist. They don't have a web
site, but you can contact them directly. |
