15 cancerversary
Hello Everyone,
Never would have thought back 15 years that i would be concerned about a deadly virus. Back then when dx. I was terrified of my cancer dx. Hearing Her2 triple positive. Oncotype DX was not in use or approved by medical insurance.
Her2 was not approved for early stage ladies. Treatment has come a good distance in the past 15 years. But sadly "not enough" we are still losing women to breast cancer.
While I am grateful & thankful for the 15 yr. survival of being cancer free I am still concerned for all my sisters who are still getting a dx. with breast cancer & for those who are doing battle with this monster. I pray and hope that the next years bring us a cure.
Wishing all to be safe from the Cov-19 virus and encouragement to all newly dx. ladies. Never ever give up - each day brings us closer.
While I wish it was yesterday - I hope for tomorrow.
Love to All,
Jean
