Lani's two cents Improved survival of breast cancer over past 6 decades!

[ElaineM]

Thanks Lani. We should all e-mail the information to our doctors or print it out and put it on their desks !!
Love your style Tricia !! I am with you 100%.
I told my doctors I will be showing up when I am 90 +. They told me they will be retired by then. I said, "Okay. No problem !! I will train some new people to take care of me." Smile.
A cancer doctor temporarily on assignment in Hawaii from Yale told me I remind her of one of her other patients in Connecticut who outlived three of her doctors and was still going strong. A surgeon she consulted was afraid to help her thinking he will be next.
I have already outlived two of my doctors who predicted I didn't have long to live many years ago. I am still here almost 12 years after their predictions. I plan to be here many years from now too.
Another woman loaned me a book titled "My doctor is dead, but I am still here" or "I am still here, but my doctor is dead", which is about a breast cancer patient who outlived her doctors. I can't remember the exact title, but I enjoyed the book very much.
Good luck to us all !!!!!!!!! We are all going to live a long time if spunk has anything to do with it.
