... the hospital today.

The good news are all the tissue the removed was healty, no trace of cancer. And my new silikon breast looks and feels like eigthteen. :-)

The Doctors don´t recommend a radiation therapy anymore ("you don´t need it") but still recommend on the chemotherapy (wich I still don´t want).

Further more they recommend me to a study at the Collone University were they reserce the breast cancer inheritage (sorry probely bad english). And since the cancer has hormon receptors the recommend a anti hormon therapy.

I´m still debating with my self about the chemotherapy and even the doctors have to admit that the procentage of recovering for me will increase with chemotherapy only by 1 - 3%. But since it increases they are moraly suppose to recommend it.

So go figgure your self...

It is a hard discission to make.

You should get online and see if you can find some cancer forums. That way you can talk to others that have been in the same position and find out what decisions they made, and why they made them. It will give you a better place to start from to make the right choice for yourself.

I found the health forums for my illnesses were fabulous. First of all, they were all so incredibly supportive, and secondly, they had information from the patient's point of view which made so much difference. Even my doctor said that he knew more about the medical side, but the people out there living through these things have the experience that a doctor will never have.

I'm SO pleased you got a good result! And yay for perky boobs!!

There is a cancer group meeting every thursday... I was thinking about going there.

Go! Cancer is easier to deal with when you can talk to others honestly and freely. I had cancer. On hormone therapy now, which actually means no hormones.

There isn't any one way to act or be brave or scared. You are you and you are dealing with a life changing illness. You need to be what ever you are feeling at the moment. Living is winning. Whatever it takes to get you there. I cried, acted brave and spent nights awake wondering.. It's all good. It what human do. HUGS!!! Hang in there!

There are good days and bad days and everything in between. Today is a good day my Doc gave her okay on my health.

For me is my writing part of my copping mechanism :-)
