I am almost thirteen years cancer free. The tumor encapsulated my right breast and was starting to attach to my chest wall. I had rounds of chemo before and after surgery.

My friend is back at work and is tired but very happy.

I am sorry about your mother. I still maintain that if we spent as much on cancer research as we do on defense for a couple of years, no one would ever die from it.
