When Kim Coulter<\/a> noticed the very first sign that she might have breast cancer, she attempted to ignore it. It happened during the COVID-19 epidemic, while she and her husband were both juggling their three kids and their essential jobs at a local manufacturing company called SRC, working both from home and at the office. Since the kids didn\u2019t have school and no daycare or babysitters were available, they had to be shuttled to grandparents\u2019 houses or watched at home while their parents tried to work.<\/span>\u201cAt first it was pure chaos with the kids not having school or after school, no babysitter,\u201d Kim remembers.<\/span>So when Kim began having chest pain and felt a small lump in her breast, she was determined to ignore the symptoms. She chalked it up to a new medication she\u2019d been taking; after all, she was only 38 years old and didn\u2019t have a family history of breast cancer.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KY3<\/a><\/span>But the symptoms continued to nag at her. On several occasions, Kim says she saw a commercial on the KY3 news channel<\/a> on television reminding women to do regular self-examinations and see their doctors for mammograms when appropriate. It soon became apparent that the universe was not going to allow her to ignore the lump in her breast.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KY3<\/a><\/span>\u201cI kept seeing all the commercials for the Buddy Check 3<\/a> program,\u201d recalls Kim.<\/span>She began questioning what would happen if she did actually have cancer and put off getting screened for it. A little voice in her head keep saying she needed to get checked out, even with all the things going on that would make it difficult. So, after three months of putting it off, she got a mammogram.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KY3<\/a><\/span>The mammogram came back with a suspicious spot, so it was followed up with a biopsy, which revealed that Kim had an inflamed tumor<\/a>. Luckily, it was caught early enough, so Kim only had to have a lumpectomy and a month of radiation, and now she is cancer-free.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KY3<\/a><\/span>After this harrowing ordeal in an already difficult time, Kim and her family are closer than they\u2019ve ever been before. Kim is now determined to make the most of her situation by urging other women to pay attention to their bodies and get mammograms as recommended.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: KY3<\/a><\/span>Check out the video below to learn more about this unorthodox miracle that ended up saving Kim\u2019s life.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Share on Facebook<\/a><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
