A Breast Cancer Survivor Helps Strengthen Her Community
#breastcancerjourney #breastcancersurvivor
After losing her twin sister to breast cancer, Sheila Boling got screened on a yearly basis. Her early detection of breast cancer resulted in a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Sheila's involvement in Sisters Conquering Cancer, a support group for African-American women, continues to be a source of comfort and inspiration throughout her journey.

Sheila Boling:
I'm Sheila Boling, and I am a breast cancer survivor. My sister Lisa was diagnosed in late eighties to early nineties with breast cancer. A lot of people didn't know that she was my twin. It was hard to see her being sick. She was my only sibling and she was my protector. She lived to see her 35th birthday, and then she passed away like two days after that because she had breast cancer.
That's when I started getting my mammograms. When I was scheduled for my yearly mammogram in 2017, right before I went, I had the pain that I really could describe. I just put it off to be drinking too much caffeine. And then when I had my mammogram, they called me and said, we saw this spot that we would like to take a biopsy of.
Dr. David Brenin:
Her tumor was picked up with routine screening mammography as one of the common things that we see in calcifications. And then she went on to have a biopsy and was diagnosed with a very early stage breast cancer.
Sheila Boling:
So after meeting with Dr. Brenin and talking everything over, then there was like plan to have the surgery and remove the breast because I had two calcifications and they weren't close together. If they were closer together, then the option would have been the lumpectomy instead of the mastectomy, the surgery went well. The recovery went well, too.
Dr. David Brenin
We talked about early detection and screening, breast cancer screening with mammography. The goal of that is early detection. And in this case, it worked. It diagnosed two stage zero breast cancer, which is a cancer that is eminently curable. And we were able to cure it. So it's a success story of screening and early detection.
Sheila Boling
I was first introduced to Sisters Conquering Cancer when my sister passed away. As a resource to tell my story, to share my journey of grieving the mission of sisters conquering cancer is to help African-American women with either being a supporter or a survivor of breast cancer or other cancers.
Dr. David Brenin:
Programs like this have been shown to be effective at influencing people who in the past have. We've been had a difficult time reaching and making sure that people understand about breast cancer screening and early detection and the vital importance of it.
Sheila Boling:
I think it's important to be screened, to have your mammograms, to be yourself. And I think having a positive outlook on life and your health plays into your recovery. And I think that helped me get through my cancer journey.

    I have always had high blood pressure. It's normally around 200/120 and every time we bring my blood pressure down to normal range, I get very light headed and feel like I'm going to pass out. Well a couple weeks ago I was getting very sick and so sick in fact that I told my wife I had to go to the hospital. I knew I had pneumonia in my right lung, but I didn't know I had pneumonia in my left as well. The doctor came in and asked me what brought me in, this was after they done did X-Ray's and a cat scan. I told the doctor that I was 100% sure I had pneumonia. She jumped my butt and said yes in both lungs and you have bi-lateral clots in your lungs. You should have came in a week ago!! I said well hell I can't afford to just go to the hospital when I don't feel good. She said to me that I was on the verge of dying and to shut up. I threw a blood clot and it hit my heart and almost killed me. I was lucky and the doctor was talking to me when it happened. They aren't anything to play with and she said that this was the best outcome. She said had the clot went to my brain, I would've had a stroke. I still don't feel good and I'm not sure if I want to go back to the hospital again or not. Take care and peace out.

    My neurological condition has never been diagnosed by any of my neurological. I have a memory disorder, which I feel is caused by a problem with my hippocampus. I gradually lose all of my long-term memory. So I don't remember a single day of high school, university, almost all my friends who used to be close friends. I, for example, would bump into people who said they have known me for years, but I have no idea who they are. I can't remember a single day in my 2 previous homes l lived in for the past 20 years. More or less, my episodic memory is 90% gone. What happens is that I go to an everyday life event, after a month it starts to fade and 4 or more months it's almost gone. My short-term memory is horrible. If I go to a restaurant, supermarket, or anywhere else I should easily be able to find where I was before, I cannot because the visual benchmark that I used to remind me where I was doesn't say. If I try to learn a new skill for a job, something like playing a guitar, learning new education, anything that would require retention would not transfer to the long-term memory to become subconscious. It just won't be retained long enough to transfer to the long-term memory. I have to really concentrate to observe one thing at a time where everyone else can walk into a room and notice people, how the room is organized and different things in the room in a couple of minutes. My memory regarding historical events doesn't fade. I'll never forget who Einstein is and his contributions to science, how the solar system is organized, math, grammar, etc. I'm great with money, knowing when bills should be paid, remembering birthdays, doctors' appointments, etc. I don't have alzheimer's. This is not progressive. It's been there since I was 25 years old and isn't getting worse. Also, I've done an EEG, MRI, CT scan, and there was no damage to my brain. If you have any idea what this is or have a reference, send me a response. The past 7 neurologists I have seen and told them about this don't believe this condition exists. It's not in the Neurologist books. Dementia is in the is in th Neurologist books, so it exist to them. I guess someone have to figure out what I have, and put it in the Neurologist books. If you are a Neurologist that might know what I have please let me know. Please don't tell me stuff like getting enough sleep, exercising, nutrition, the usual stuff. Also I don't drink or smoke or am obese, high blood pressure, diabetes, family members with memory or anything else.
