HI everyone. I go into the hospital November 22 to have my other breast removed. I'm glad about it totally.
But one thing I've wrestled with is what difference do I make that warrants my living through all of this. I'm totally focused on my family and I do things for them, but it doesn't seem enough. So, after being in these groups and after going through what I have, I decided to answer some of the questions women have about this disease. It's just a type-written summary of what I've learned and I hope it will be of use to someone beginning this journey.
If you would like a copy or you know someone who would e-mail me with the CSN Email.
This is not for money and it's certainly not a neatly published booklet.

Keep positive
