Andi,

I'm at a loss for words. The only thing I can say is you are a very brave woman. Breast cancer is a dreadful disease and we never quite know what's in store for us. Even though we all have breast cancer, no one knows exactly what your are experiencing as we all are different. I guess the most important thing is that you are at peace with your decisison. A decision, I'm sure that took a lot of soul searching and was not easy to make. I just pray that somehow a miracle will happen. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
