I am going to encourage you to fight with everything you have. If getting mad at the cancer helps you fight it, get madder than you ever have before and please don't give up. It is a decision that only you can make but I hope you kick your cancer on its ass.

You never know with cancer. I survived breast cancer and survived two rounds of chemo, a mastectomy and weeks of radiation. I still have radiation scars and I was in treatment 13 years ago. I wanted both breasts gone but my doctor was leary enough of the cancer returning he was afraid if he took the non affected breast the cancer may go to my chest wall. I have been very lucky. I have met women and men that have beaten cancer back several times. A very wise woman told me cancer stages were just a number and to never let it get me down.

How strong you were to even go to school while in treatment. I got so weak I couldn't drive because I didn't have enough strength to apply the brakes and you made it through school.

I will keep my candles lit and will have one especially for you like I do the DU members I am aware of that are fighting cancer. Please don't give up.
