Dear friends,
I have a major decision to make in my fight with breast cancer. I have one
lump in my breast which has remained unchanged for the past three months. I
had a cat skan done that showed numerous enlarged lymph nodes which appear
cancerous. One in particular is larger than the others. I have been in
treatment since March 1st and the large tumor has shrunk by half, using all
alternative treatments. The question is: is it better to have the radical
surgery and get all the cancer out, or to continue with my treatments, which
will take longer to get rid of the cancer? I am concerned about the
aftermath of the radical surgery and the effect it will have on my arm, and
the possible lymphoma. I would appreciate your opinions.
Hugs,
Debbie
