HI FROM Adriana
Hi Jackie:
First of all, you live in a beautiful country. I visited Sydney in 1999, also Cairns, did a lot of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. After Australia, I went to New Zealand. Wonderful part of the world. Both of these places.
Now I have a few questions.
What was the size of your tumor?
What about lymph node + or - ? If so how many were positive?
What kind of treatment did you receive? Radiation? Surgery?
I'm a 15 year bc survivor, I have mets, since 2003 to rt lung, you can read everything about me at the bottom of my signature. It would be a good idea if you can do the same, we, at this site like to read about one another's diagnosis and treatments. It's helpful, especially to new members.
Take care,
Adriana
