    I am writing a book and would like some quotes from breast cancer survivors who wouldn't mind. We would not put your full name, just your first name, age and whre you are from

     Perhaps 2 lines. Can you email me? gloriakanahele@yahoo.com

    Thanks!

    Gloria,  you want to clear this request with the moderators first.  By doing this, the women who frequent the boards are protected from folks whose intentions might be harmful to us. 

    Once you have an official o.k. I'm sure many bc veterans will respond.  Looking forward to hearing more on this project. ~S

    txgirl, your dx is the same as mine.  Mind if i ask, did you do chemo?  I didn't and am now second guessing myself a year later.   Thanks!

    No chemo.  My choice.  My Oncotype was 19, low intermediate risk.  Microinvasion in 1 of 2 nodes of <2mm.  My onc said that it was up to me and my comfort level. I am 70% ER+ and 90% PR+.  I thought that changing my diet, losing weight and exercising regularly would do more to lower my risk of recurrence than chemo, which sometimes opens up another can of worms down the line.

    I try not to 2nd guess my choice but I do at times also.  Cancer bites but with a mustard seed of faith, alot of determination and a good medical team I am biting back hard!

    BTW, your avatar has always intrigued me.
