Millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer. But what exactly is cancer and how does it affect the body?...

I am in my early 30’s and have been recently identified with breast cancer. Meanwhile the doctor has assured me that it has been traced early and recovery is possible and asked me to conduct a few more examinations after verifying which he would suggest medications. In the meantime just out of curiosity I desire to share identical experience, with any other woman who has already gone through this period.

Breast Cancer

I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 46 years old. I am 66 now. At christmas it will be 20 years since my modified radical mastectomy.
You have it much better today...More knowledge about the disease and better and safer drugs. I had no one to talk to back then. No one discussed it at all.
I didn't have radiation but I did undergo chemo. Never felt sick..Just tired.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Good luck to you.....
