[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 341200, member: 3704"] Marg, I'm so sorry to hear your news, but I'm so glad that you found this out and are quickly moving ahead with your treatment. I walked this path with my Mom 7 years ago. Her diagnosis was the same as yours, and she had a lumpectomy with lymph node removal with radiation treatments following. Her surgeon was a very sweet guy and he treated her with special care. Seven years later, she is cancer free! She was in her late seventies at the time of her diagnosis and she really sailed through the entire journey like a champ. She and her surgeon developed quite a relationship and he asked her to volunteer at her local breast cancer office after her recovery. She calls all of the women in her community several days after their surgeries to see how they are doing and offer a compassionate ear. Other volunteers from the office go to visit women in the hospital immediately after their surgeries to offer assistance and information about services . A couple of years ago a film crew came to her office and asked her to be interviewed for some public service information spots about mammograms on the local television stations. She reluctantly agreed, and my 83 year old Mom has become a mini celebrity in her retirement community and local town. I'm just so proud of her! In a strange kind of way, this situation has added a real passion and focus to her later years. Marg, please keep us in the loop of your treatment. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My Mom's experience has shown me that this is a problem that can be treated with great skill and success. Valerie [/QUOTE]
