I was 55 and one month away from getting hip replacement surgery. I was very upset that it meant they would postpone the hip surgery. I don't really consider myself an overly religious person, but I did feel that I could only do all I could and G-d would take care of the rest it was in his hands. I was very lucky, the lump was the size of a dime, no node involvment. I had a lumpectomy. Also, I had almost no reaction to the chemo or the radiation. The only reaction I really had was now I have a low blood count and occasionally I go anemic. Since my lump was sooo small the only way to find it was a mamogram. It was too tiny to feel.
