I have breast cancer

[BigDemVoter]

45. As a healthcare provider, I can honestly tell you to try not to panic. I totally understand the

fear, but breast cancer treatment is nothing like it used to be. They can do much, much more than even just a few years ago, and targeted treatments are available. Furthermore, the side effects of chemo (if you even need that) are much easier to deal with nowadays. My mom had breast cancer in the 1970s during the days when they just went for radical surgery and heavy duty chemo. I'm hoping things turn out well. I know you have a lot of people thinking about you here.
