My breast cancer was found with a yearly
mammogram by a deligent Dr. who kept
reading and reading it, called me in with
a slight suspicion because the tumor was
very deep and hard to see. It was Grade
3 and growing fast. Thanks to him and the
treatment I received I know I have at least
lived three more years. I believe we have
to do all we can and if that doesn't work
we can say without regret we did all we could.
Brenda I agree with you with all my heart.
You are a rock star.
