I am a two time breast cancer survivor. I was first diagnosed in 2005, and with the support of my wonderful family and friends had a mastectomy and was declared cured. The cancer returned in 2007. I had further surgery on my chest wall, radiation and chemo therapy, and the continued support of my family and friends. I was again declared cancer free. Since my diagnosis, two friends and two aquanciences have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are in various stages of treatment and survivorship. We cannot find the cure soon enough. I have gone on with my precancer life, with these exceptions: I take every opportunity to hug a breast cancer survivior, petition for support for finding the cure, always wear a pink ribbon, and thank God for my blessings especially my two grandchildren. I wish you all well. Lucy
