What symptoms led up to your diagnosis?

I had bronchitis that wouldn't quit (otherwise very healthy).

What tests did your doctor do, and what was this experience like?

Doctor suggested a mammogram even though I wasn't due for another 3 months - I did not see the connection between a mammo and my bronchitis, but went along with the test. I was lymphnode positive and my immune system was compromised.

Upon learning about your diagnosis- what happened next?

... a year of treatment ... celebrating 7 years thanks to bronchitis and a good, inquisitive doctor.
