Thank you so much for writing on these boards, we so need to hear from people that have survived and gone on to live the good life. I am one year away from my surgery and 9 months out from radiation......................and I intend to make it to that 15 year anniversary also............and beyond. I have always believed that I will be an adorable old woman (my grandmother is so cute) and I am determined to prove it!!
Again, thank you Cathy and keep in touch with us.
