I remember well when my surgeon told me that he would have to do a second surgery because all of the tissue around my walnut sized tumor was cancerous. He promised me he would save as much of my breast as he could. When I awoke, he gently told me that there was no "clear" tissue until he got to the chest wall. He had removed 5 pounds of cancerous tissue! (I had inherited large bossoms from the women in my family). Needless to say, it was a very poor prognosis! I longed to hear some survival stories for my stage of cancer, but couldn't find any.
So here is your survival story women;
In March of this year,(2010), I will have celebrated my 20th year of survival.
YOU GO GIRLS!
