Re: Kylie Minogue to be fully free of breast cancer in 2011
Hi Laurel you crack me up you always have such a witty sense of humour. Do you think she feels she will be cured because she will be five years out? I wonder why they would say she would be cured. I guess no one knows her particulars. Perhaps she had very early small cancer with no serious prognostic features. I know when I had the small tumours, no node involvement, no vascular invasion and no Her2 I think they felt I would do pretty well. When the second tumour was Her2 that's when the chemo etc. came into play. Mind you my oncologist has never given me any indication of what my prognosis is. I dont think anyone know what can happen to any individual. My oncologist did say "it all depends how the cells want to behave".
Also if any one has had the tram-flap reconstruction done would you please give me your thoughts about that and recovery etc. Thank you muchly ladies Lois
