    Hi LoVonna,
    How are you doing today? I am doing fine as a breast cancer survivor, as I show a lot of faith and hope in a cure for my breast cancer through all of my cancer treatments in general. Are you cancer-free. when I first heard about my diagnose with breast cancer, I started getting depressed and cried. Then had to undergo two surgeries on my right breast and armpit for breast cancer. First I had a biopsy/lumpectomey, and the second operation I had was an axcillary node dissection on my right armpit. Then I underwent four rounds of chemotherapy. Now I am in a process in undergoing Radiation Therapy for seven weeks and for five consecutive days in the afternoon part-time in INOVA Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. I am doing this for my favor--not against me. Then after the Radiation Therapy, will be a five year plan, through my doctor. How do I go about in getting into a clinical trial towards a cure from my breast cancer? Please feel free to let me know.

    Thank you,
    Valerie Klaassen

    Lesley Thank you for checking on me. I went back to the doc yesterday and he removed the bandage from my donar sight! So nice not to have my leg wrapped in celophane! He told me both donar sight and graft sight are healing well. Still bandaging graft but just for a few days.

    Next I see radiation oncologist for evaluation. Still very apprehensive about radiation and don't know if I want to do it.

    God Bless, LoVonna

    Glad to hear that things are going well. I am always amazed at how well Lesley keeps up with everyone. But it is always good to hear that things are going well in beating the beast.

    Take Care..

    It really does seem like we know each other. Probably know each other better than many people, especially not to have ever met.

    Take care. Hope you have a good move.
