"Needless to say, I'm very
glad to be here tonight...Thanks to that checkup last September, good
doctors, a loving, supporting husband, understanding children -- I can truly
say this past year has been one of the richest years of my life."
"When I went into the operating
room that morning, I had a pretty good premonition that it was going to turn
out to be a malignancy, and that my breast would have to be removed. But
once the operation was over, I was really very much relieved. I felt the
doctors had removed the cancer at such an early stage that I was very lucky
and would have no more troubles."
"I just cannot stress enough how necessary it is for women to take the time
out of their active lives and take an interest in their own health and their
own body. Too many women are so afraid of breast cancer that they endanger
their lives. These fears of being 'less' of a woman are very real, and it's
important to talk about the emotional side effects. We have to speak of it
honestly." |
