I received the news that i had breast cancer. I would need to have the lump and breast removed.I was given step by step information and help all along the way. I had a year of chemo and 2 months of radiation.I was forunate that i have two loving daughters who went to ev doctors appt. and every treatment with me. I would lose my hair gain weight and feel sick most of the time, and be tire alot. Every thing they said was true. Every doctor, nurse and receptionist was very nice, understanding and cared. I would never want this to happen to anyone, but since it did to me i was very lucky i had such great care. The most important thing to remember to me was attitude means alot. i stayed upbeat and never gave up. I saw a few people who refused the treatments cuz they didnt want to lose their hair or be sick, their cancer wasnt as bad as mine, but they gave up, and they are no longer with us. To those of you who are told u have cancer., my words to u are few. Fight with all your might never give up and when u feel u cant fight any more think of your loved ones and friends who r there for u and would miss u . U will fight and u will win, i m still fighting, and each day is especial cuz i m still here. God bless u all. Pat L.
