In July 1995, I was diagnosed with an infiltrating, intraductile adenocarcinoma of the left breast. I had a lumpectomy/partial mastectomy, chemo and 35 radiation treatments. I had a wonderful surgeon and phenomenal oncologist. I just had my semi-annual follow -up and the exam was perfect. Just have to get my mammo. If you are faced with this disease, please speak with your oncologist about anti-nausea medications. They do help. I was blessed in having had no side effects from what I called my "cocktail." I praise and thank God for my continued well being. I thank my doctors for their wonderful care. To those of you going through this now, hang tough. If you are religious, keep in touch with God. He will bring you through.
