Decision Point (Chemo for a year or not): It was hard to decide on participating in the trial. Up to that point, the doctors basically made the decisions. Now it was my turn.

Radiation (External radiation ): I had 38 treatments - one each weekday morning. I made the appointment for a little later so I could sleep in. It was the first selfish decision and it felt good. I worked throughout and was sure to keep the area hydrated using Regenecare! Best stuff.

Clinical Trial (HER2 positive - Avastin): I opted for a year on Avastin and 6 strong treatments w/out a less dangerous drug. There was contraversy at the beginning regarding Lung and Metastatic cancers, but we need to prove its ok for BC that hasn't been isolated. Sadly, my cancer center is closing 10/1/2014 and my participation in the trial is over. I feel like it was wasted data.
