 Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis diagnosed with breast cancer |

It is sad to note that even educated and well informed people like congresswomen are missing their mammograms.
Fifty five year old Republican congresswoman has recently announced that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She represents Fredericksburg and surrounding localities in Virginia.
Davis said there was no history of any kind of cancer in her family, and she had not been getting regular mammograms.
"I'm healthy as a horse," Davis said. "I never get sick. I didn't go, and that was a mistake. "We're all so busy, and I stay so busy, I put myself on a back burner instead of the front. I encourage every woman to get checkups and take care of themselves. I'm thankful mine has been caught, and optimistic that I will be fine."
"I am convinced I will bounce back and get through this," Davis said "I'm going through something so many women go through. I think it might even make me a better member of Congress."
Davis said she rarely gets ill, and this will be an opportunity for her to gain first-hand insight into the nation's health-care system.
Davis said she discovered a lump in her left breast and had a mammogram last week. The mammogram was followed by an ultrasound examination, a breast MRI and biopsy.
Doctors at the George Washington University Medical Center are recommending chemotherapy, likely followed by surgery and possibly radiation, she said.
We are all busy with our life, but no one is busy enough to miss her mammogram, especially on the eve of the breast cancer awareness month.
