Gettaway's Journey with Breast Cancer

As a 2 time survivor, not only am I lucky, but did have great support. But truly, as we are being constantly cared for, by dr's and family, all I wanted some some normalacy...I wanted to hear the humor that we all have. I feel when we have some of that, we can concentrate on getting better. I did go thru Chemo twice and radiation in between. Then in 2000 I had thyroid cancer...but I knew only the "good" die young so I would be here for a while longer. Have a great day and enjoy life and ALWAYS keep you sense of humor

We will always have a few things to deal with, but nothing we can't handle. I was able to work the whole time thru chemo and had my radiation on my lunch hr.

Piece of cake, but it does make you tired...the good news is that if you had a lumpectomy, your breast won't sag...LOL

Being a single female and losing my hair and then gaining weight really really sucked.

I had a slip of the foot and had to have 11 screws put in my ankle...so it can effect your bones

I have had 2 very close friends lose their battle with breast cancer and it was one of the hardest things ever, feeling so helpless.
