My grandmother recently passesd away from breast cancer, my aunt is a survivor, and we had a scare with my sixteen year old daughter last year with a lump. It's so nice to hear that you have had a good recovery and that you remain positive. This is very personal, so hopefully your story will help others.<br /><br />HeatherStyle Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179838289046469156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978297467436094053.post-42413619372799195112011-08-12T16:21:24.063-05:002011-08-12T16:21:24.063-05:00Thank you for sharing your story.

I think it has created some complications of balance etc. Like you, she foregoes the prosthetics. Did you find that your emotions about 9/11 events got all balled up with what you were going through or did your medical problem prove to take precedence over national events?<br /><br />I was once sent to a surgeon for a biopsy--only to discover that the mammogram technician had mislabeled the films.

Your story is a testimony of God's Grace and it is so encouraging. You are such a special lady and I honour your courage and strength.
