Hopefully these women got masectomies. I feel most Canadian women who can't afford the best are directed toward lumpectomies (which I would never recommend because of chance of recurrence. Too much pain is involved with these (3 horrible procedures even before the operation) & by then you've lost 10 years of life. Now that it's over no one will touch my breasts again. I won't accept radiation, chemo, or even another mammogram for the rest of my life. Dying from cancer can't that bad.

Hello Vivian, you might be interested in being a "buddy" on this new website created to help connect cancer patients and cancer survivors to each other. Your story of survival (and your friends'), the proactive role you have played, and your positive attitude would most definately be comforting to someone newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The website recently receieved media coverage, you can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=Z9p03o-duq4
