Re: Metastatic Breast Cancer and Nancy Brinker
Amy,
What a well written and truthful post. I couldn't agree more.
I was not diagnosed at stage IV nor was I ever (thank God) stage IV. I was diagnosed at stage 2B....went through my surgeries, chemo, herceptin and radiation and here I am, 7 years later NED! Why? Definitely not my wishful thinking or me doing everything right......(cause I don't) - I just am.
I know so many (Fighters by every sense of the word) who have lost their battle. Yes, many are surviving this disease but way too many still die from it. I pray a cure is found.
Thanks Amy for speaking out....
Mary Jo
