A note of hope from a seven year breast cancer survivor
Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 21:31 Stage III. Invasive breast cancer where the tumor is 5 cm or smaller and has definitely spread to nearby lymph nodes, or where the tumor is any size and has spread to the chest wall or the skin. The five-year survival rate is between 54 and 67 percent.
My breast cancer was worse.
At the time of surgery, the tumor was larger, much larger than any 5 cm and had spread to at least 3 lymph nodes.
I just got my check up and I’m still here … seven years later.
Here’s what I did that may have made the difference
