Today is my kansirvirsari 9 years! on 20 March 2002 the channel was diagnosed with cancer in situ, and one year for the next day, he was given the all clear., year in the diagnosis of breast cancer treatment has changed me in many ways. The whole experience was tagged too hard – but have stuck with me for five years through this site and I have had the opportunity to pass along many of the things I learned during the treatment and survival. continued learning about dealing with breast cancer-and many readers have learned the most from their wisdom. we know, the better it can fight this cancer, and perhaps someday, it would be entirely preventable.
At first, I did breast cannot survive -everyone I know with that diagnosis have suffered and my husband's mother Nancy died. fought him-twice-for 6 years, but we eventually lost, in 1980 and treatment have improved since then, further diagnostic procedures and imaging technology. become more empowered patients-we get to choose between breast-feeding and lumpectomy--instead of letting the US surgeons. in the past, many women in breast biopsy didn't know if I will wake up with Or without tits! Sentinel node biopsy prior to adoption, many women endured full axillary dissection (term bad!) and then the life full of arm lymphedema. now fading practice of holding all your lymph nodes removed test for metastasis-thank goodness!
The best of all, most of us breast cancer survivors. Indeed, the National Cancer Institute says there are about 2.5 million of us living 5 or more years after their breast cancer. Furthermore, we survive longer than previous generations.
How mark? Just do things normal-I went to church and home-made lunch, not some yardork and play with our dogs. little all this stuff pretty occupations, and daily life-and I am so happy to still be enjoying it! 85-year-old dad and my wonderful to spend a day with, and then the Internet time with my sister. such moments I is no longer granted. I am not that was breast-so this is not what you celebrate it survive and enjoy, and that's what I'm grateful for this day.
How do you commemorate kansirvirsari?
