TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There's a puzzle to be solved in your life. Getting the answer isn't as important as wondering about the question. Your mind is opened by all of the possibilities. Enjoy this state of unknowing for a while.
Will do.
My War Against Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Welcome
On September 28, 2009 I was diagnosed with stage 3 Triple Negative breast cancer. They found a 9 cm tumor and another smaller one while I was nursing my son. I started 17 rounds of chemo: ACT plus carboplatin. Had a double mastectomy on April 6, 2010 followed by 6.5 weeks of radiation. At the time of my surgery I had had a complete pathologic response to the chemo - no evidence of disease. Here's what I learned along the way:
