Prayers for Amber

November 11, 2019

So I received a message on instagram a few weeks ago from a girl named Amber. She reached out because she was concerned she might have postpartum breast cancer. She has a 6 year old boy, 2.5 year old boy and a 6 week old daughter. When she was breast feeding her 2nd son she felt 2 small lumps in her breast and was told by her OB that they were cysts. No imaging or further work-up was needed. She then got pregnant with her daughter and continued to feel the lumps. She said it was also painful in that area when her milk would come in. Her new OB said they felt like cysts but wanted her to have imaging to be sure. When she met with the radiologist she was told that she most likely has breast cancer because not only could he feel the lumps but a swollen lymph node. Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 7th. I am so heart broken for this new Mom. We continue to message every day and I hope I can be that someone she can talk to. UGH… Please please please keep this girl in your prayers and PLEASE spread awareness in regards to postpartum breast cancer! It is mind blowing how often this awful disease is misdiagnosed and overlooked. ANY type of lump or bump in the breast should be further looked at…period! Pregnant or not. Breast cancer effects 1 in every 8 women. Most families have 1…maybe 2 relatives that have breast cancer. I mean come on….NO lump or bump should ever be overlooked!!!! 😡😡 …OK before I lose my cool I am going to bed….LOL!!!!

PRAYERS FOR AMBER 🙏
