Four Year Mark
This is an EXCITING time for me. Today I visited with Dr. Bachrach, my oncologist. I just past my 4th year mark yesterday and today I AM CANCER FREE!!! Well, I am so confident that next year at this time I'll be sharing that with you too. I'm so blessed! I have a life filled with the love of family and friends.

Breast Cancer Vaccine...
On May 31, 2010, it was announced that a breast cancer vaccine has been developed that looks very promising...however at the end of the statement we find the word BUT...
It has only been tested on mice and they say, "If it works in humans the same way it works in mice, this will be monumental. We could eliminate breast cancer." Sounds good, however, this vaccine would be for women over 40 because it would be typically after child bearing years. If given to a woman at a younger age she probably would not want to nurse due to the side effect of painful breast.
It mentions, "For younger women with a heightened risk of breast cancer, the vaccine may be an option to consider over propholatic radical mastectomy."
