I have had cancer 4 times!!! In 1993, cervical, 1999, stage 3 breast cancer, 2006 stage 3 colo-rectal cancer, 2011 breast cancer. It is very important to take care of yourself...if a doctor says 'no' or won't listen to you...get a new doctor. You are in charge of your health care. We caught my breast cancer because I was vigilant...it took 2 and 1/2 years to find a doctor who would listen but, it was worth it. I've had chemo 3 times and raidation (can't spell) lol twice. Over 25 surgeries
and I feel great. I celebrate my anniversary's every 5 years with my docs by giving them presents...my 10 year gift was a package of Lifesavers for them...lol! Enjoy life, have fun, work hard and Fight Like a Girl!!! I take a lickin and keep on tickin!!!!
