Hi Nita: I was diagnosed with breat cancer for the 2nd time in Oct.98.
The first diagnises was in 1987, at that time I had a modified radical
mastecomy, no chemo or radiation at that time, I took tamoxifin for 9
months. This time around I am now going through chemo (FAC protocal)
wth 6 weeks of radiation to follow and then tamoxifin for 2-5 years. I
opted for a lumpectomy this time. Cancer is something you will always
live with but plenty of people are cancer free and will remain cancer
free. Just keep praying and remember that God's promise to those who
have faith is to cure. Your Doctor is just a person that God works
through. You have more control over your health, just believe that you
will be cured. I pray daily and I believe that I am on my way to being
cured. God Bless
