My mother Marilyn Ryan Sigler, has breast cancer. She had a mastectomy in 1983. The cancer metastasized to her lungs five years later. I discovered a lump in my underarm on a summer day in 1985. I had a mastectomy in the beginning of August of 1985. It was followed by 6 months of chemotherapy. The cancer is now in my bones, my pelvis and my spine.
