    While waiting for my third chemo today a lady told her story.  She is from a small town and the doctor there told her that he would have to remove a section of her colon, kidney along with her breast.  She thought "this will change my life drastically"  She looked young too.  She said she then brought her records to this hospital and the doctor put her on chemo to shrink the cancer and now she will not have to do the radical surgery.  I don't anymore facts as I was called into the office.  I do know that my niece had colon cancer and lesions in her lung and liver.  Her doctor put her on chemo for that and now she has only one small lesion in her lung that she goes in for now.  Chemo recipes are different for different cancers.  It is scarry and everyone has to make that decision for themselves. A friend I made through a family member had a golf ball mass taken along with a mastectomy and will not do chemo.  She prefers prayer and diet.  I think it depends on the doctor, hospital and finding it right away.  I had a little East Indian radiologist that I will forever be thankful for who found mine.  It was hard to see and could have been missed.
