TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When you bite off more than you can chew, you put yourself at risk of choking. Take small bites today and you'll still get it all done. Cut your tasks into tiny chunks, and savor each one.
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:
