Oh boy, Where do I begin? lol .. I'm a 40 yr old hispanic female whom in March of 2003 @ age 32, was diagnosed with right breast Stage III Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (5.5 cm mass in right breast, 7 cm axillary node). I endured 8 wks of high dose Chemmo (DOXORUBICIN Injection, Cyclophosphamide- brand name = Cytoxan & Neosar, DOCETAXEL- brand name = Taxotere) followed by a full right breast mastectomy, then lastly, 8 wks of External Beam Radiation. I opted for breast recontruction surgery- Tran-Flap Procedure and I'd have to say they did a mighty fine job lol. I am now 7 1/2 yrs & counting in remission! ..
In August of 2008, I was diagnosed with Stage IIB Glassy Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix (8 cm. mass). I endured 4 wks of External Beam Radiation combined with Chemmo (CISPLATIN), followed by 5 wks of of Internal Beam Radiation. I am now 2 yrs & 2 mths, and counting in Remission!
I absolutly know that keeping a positive attitude is diffinately the key factor in the healing process.
