Ann, Congradulations on your annivesary of being NED. I think we all have to chose what is right for us as an individual. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for everyone. It has to be a decision that comes from the heart that you are doing whats right for you. I get all kinds of opinions from others that aren't even dealing with this disease. It usually goes in one ear and out the other. I chose bilateral mastectomies and 4 months of chemo because mine was so aggresive. I also do supplements and walk many miles every day to help keep me strong in mind and body. I will reach my one year anniversary in Oct. Yea!!! It's been a very, very long year!
