Dear Friends that will have LUMPECTOMY...
Six years ago I had breast cancer. I participated in a support group approximately four years. Without this group my life would have been misery. Just meeting with others who understood the hardship - sharing new drugs - new options for recovery was FANTASTIC. When Support Group was first suggested I thought it was WASTE OF TIME. NOT SO. We had a wonderful group of OPTIMISTIC people - some are still with us some have gone to a peaceful area but at least when we were together we had fun until the last moment.
PRAISE GOD.
