Hi there, I just read your message and I know just how scared you are. I walked in those shoes just a little over a year ago. I didn't think I could get through it either, but guess what..I did and you will too. I was told I had (notice I said had) a fast growing cancer. I did not have a masectomy (I am the world's worst speller so don't hold that against me..ha) but had a year of chemo and 6 1/2 weeks of radiation. My Dr. says I am in remission...he won't say cured, but I feel pretty good and you will too. Attitude has a lot to do with treatment. Think positive and don't worry about decisions, you will be able to make them when the time is right. All of us will keep you in our hearts and prayers. If you want to write me....poo-yah@att.net. We'll chat any time. Mayree
