Hello CSN Family,

Today is certainly a Huge Milestone! For anyone just starting this journey I just wanted to give hope and encouragement.

For me I had my surgery March 20,2002. Diagnosed Stage 3C, 10 out of 14 positive lymph nodes. Followed up with Chemotherapy & Radiation.

At the time I was 40 years old with a 10 year old son. Today I am 60 and my young son is now a 30 year old school teacher. Last fall he got married and it was super special for me to be apart of that day.

Please keep the faith that it is treatable and beatable.

With Love,

Lisa Rose
