Re: cure rate for stage 2?

When first dx. wtih breast cancer it is normal to think we will die and very soon. Most of us when dx. thought,
Oh, #*@! the end is near. Having caught your bc early,
the new treatments and advances have changed our odds
greatly. You will be counting out the years also....take a deep breath ....ahhhh and enjoy everything.
