Meet Ridgefield resident and model Pat Stenko
*Pat’s story highlights the importance of self-breast exams in addition to routine screenings and physicals.
My story of cancer is the importance of breast self-examination. Twenty plus years ago I found a small lump on the side of my breast- almost in my armpit. Routine mammograms had never shown the lump, due to it being outside of the film fields. The biopsy became a lumpectomy, followed by lymph node resections, chemo and radiation since the tumor size was just beyond what would have been safe for just a lumpectomy- (at the time). All subsequent exams have been perfect. I’ve been in remission for over 20 years. I am thankful to my doctors, family and friends for all of their support. I am honoring my dear, strong friend Carol, in my support for Ann’s Place. Please donate to this wonderful organization!
