Andrea's story

I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer one year ago after having successfully completed chemo and radiation for tonsilar throat cancer. I thank God that there are so many new medications and treatments available today. I chose to have lumpectomies after all of the doctors adviced this for me. One of the new treatments, which I'm now completing, is herceptin and I thank God for it. I've already completed the chemo and radiation and am waiting for my hair to grow back. I thank God for wigs, too. I also had the BRCA test which was negative and I shared this with my daughter and 10 yr. old granddaughter. The peace I've found is through prayer, my faith in God's word, and the loving support of a wonderful husband, daughter and many more family members as well as awesome friends.
