Re: Living Beyond Breast Cancer events
When I found out about my recurrence in 2007, I was quite devastated. My 2nd Sister's 2nd Sister-in-law lives in New Jersey and gave me a contact of LBBC's Asian contact person. She called and exchanged e-mails with me several times until last year when she had an operation for the more than 10-year old tumor on her chest. Her last name is Fong. And I really like to find out how she's doing right now.
