I am 37 and was diagnosed in Dec/05 with stage IIIb invasive breast cancer (IBC). There is no family history of breast cancer so this came as a very big shock to someone who has generally never been sick a day in her life.

I am a paralegal at a large law firm but have not worked since just after being diagnosed. I have been married to a wonderful man for seven years (we've been together for over 14 years) and have the most precious [soon to be] five year old boy.

I am now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with chemo treatments and am now having to make the surgical decision of "remove just the one or both". I keep saying that it would be so much easier to make the decision if someone would just tell me what the 'right' decision to make is.

This site has been a huge source of information for me. Thank you to everyone who posts to it. I wish you all nothing but the best for the future.
