n the spring of 2008, Christina (Tina)
Frank was enjoying life as an AP
Chemistry teacher at Montour High
School when she discovered a lump
during a breast self-examination. Anxious
and understandably scared, she saw her
doctor, and was relieved to learn that a
biopsy of the lump was negative.

years old at the time, scheduled surgery to
remove the lump. The surgeon sent it to the
pathology lab for testing, and Tina assumed
that all would be fine. Y
