Return to Story IndexKATY@KIOSK
"it's not the end of the world, life does go on." That realization came after doctors gave Mindi her choices... Chemo...Radiation...mastectomy...all common approaches to fight cancer. "my choices brought me to remove both of my breasts. i decided that that was the best thing for me." Mindi only had cancer in one breast...but because of her family history and knowing the risks...she opted for the double mastectomy. An option she chose since she found out her news early. "the key to every thing is early detection i can't express how important that is. that's what saved my life." and now mindi hopes her story of courage and strength is something that will not only make other's aware of their options if they are diagonsed... but always inspire other's to make a life saving decision. "so many women are scared. they know that mom's had it or not and they don't want to go but if you don't you'll never know and it could be the thing that saves your life." C-A-M-C HAS IMAGING CENTERS IN KANAWHA CITY AND SOUTHRIDGE...AND WALK-INS ARE WELCOME AT BOTH LOCATIONS. REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO...KATY BROWN...EYEWITNESS NEWS
