As Ilovemydogs, she and I were diagnosed in Feb 2010. We both have a rare type of breast cancer..hormone receptor. Today I got the word that I won't be needing chemo..at least yet. It took me three weeks after the diagnosis to get my emotions straighted out...I dug my heels in and decided I was going to fight this with all that I have. I am in stage 4, it started in my breast, left there and went to the lymphnodes under my arm. They found it on #9, 10 and 11 vertebrae..which was treated with radiations. I didn't have a masectomy. I feel so blessed to be able to wake each morning and love each day with all that I have. Having cancer does change you, I have to say for the better. I was always on the go..trying to do everything for everyone. I realized..I can't do that anymore. It is time to smell the roses..and that is exactly how I am living my life from now on. Prayers to each of you.
Peace and Blessings,
