I had my second breast surgery in January. Very fortunate chemo not needed as surgeon did not remove lymph nodes. So I have had it "easy" as compared with some of my dear friends and I try to be grateful. I think you are doing the right thing but I truly wish we had more information and that all the cancer survivors and those who did not recover could have a network of good information. There are so many kinds of cancer, treatments, and results and we are all so different. So many years and so many billions have been spent. I hope and pray our grandchildren will not have to suffer as you have. Peace to you.
