I can't guarantee it helps, but I can assure you in no uncertain terms that a negative attitude will work against you. I would also suggest staying away from reading about cancer on the internet. For every positive thing you read, you'll find a bunch of negative...and they all work against the first suggestion: STAY POSITIVE. Hang around friends and family that cheer you up. Do things that make you happy. I won't tell you that it will be easy (although honestly, my experiences with chemo, lumpectomy and radiation weren't that bad) but I will tell you cancer can be beat! STAY POSITIVE.

You can imagine the kind of little chats I have had with Larry!

Because this came as such a shock to me, I wanted other women to know that they should listen to what their bodies are telling them, even though a mammogram might be clear.
