    Breast Cancer
    I have breast cancer, stage II... and to be honest, I don't recall if it was a or b. The size is what brought it to stage 2. I had a lumpectomy, and am having four CA treatments (1 every 3 weeks), plus 6 wks of radiation. My oncologist had mentioned that there isn't a way to verify no more cancer after the chemo. How do people know if they are in remission then? DO they just hope? Any insight, thanks. And thank you for all of the information about radiation. I'm going to try the aloe. :-)

    hi cbrz
    i had stage III. I guess there are actual blood tests for breast ca but my oncologist says that they have a history of producing false positive results. so he says I will be checked every 3 months by him and have regualr bllod test checking liver and kidney and blood count levels. I asked him so I wait for it to come back and He said no you wait for it NOT to come back. Good luck julie
