> Hi Jennifer, I was just told that I am cancer free. YEH. I was diagnosed with
stage I cervical adiocarcinoma 3 years ago. I had surgery, then chemo and 5
weeks of radiation, 2 days of internal radiation, another surgery. Then, 14
months later it had metastasized into a lymph node so I had another surgery and
5 months of chemo. My last chemo was in Feb. I know how very hard it is,I
believe it has to be worse when you have children to think of, (my son was 14
when I was first diagnosed) never give up and always get a second, third or
fourth opinion.( I had several Doctors tell me there was nothing more they could
do for me ) Hang in there and remember, its not the quantity of life but the
quality.
