North Texans Unite to Race For a Cure in Plano
22nd Annual Race for the Cure in Plano Supports Local Breast Health Services
With a time of 23:07.23, Jamie Rogers, a five-year breast cancer survivor, beamed as she clenched the Top Survivor running time on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at the 22nd Annual Susan G. Komen North Texas Plano Race for the Cure®. Jamie shared, “When my doctor first found the lump, I was just 27. My doctor didn’t believe the lump was any big deal, but wanted me to get it checked anyway. The radiologist was convinced the lump was not cancer, and proposed three options: don’t do anything, come back in 6 months to check progression, or biopsy. I am so glad I chose to biopsy the lump because if had I waited, my stage 1 diagnosis could have been much worse. Early detection is key to saving lives.”
