Is it the different chemos or the damage done to the immune system that causes the most harm?

I remain hopeful that the coming years will produce better treatment for all cancer patients. My youngest daughter is a pre-med student at the Univeristy of Illinois, and she is very committed to research and solutions for cancer patients. She also is a very strong women who will never settle for a mans answer to anything! My breast cancer has changed how she views everything about cancer. In my own nieve (sp) way, I soothe my soul by telling myself that I possibly got bc so she could become one of the dedicated folks trying to make a difference.
Gives me consolation in the wee hours of the morning.
