Wow Robyn,you have sure made lots of changes -and for the better it seems. Having breast cancer can be a make or break deal with work and relationships.I don't blame you for leaving your job-they didn't sound very supportive.I had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation back in 2003. Unfortunately it came back in the same breast,same spot last year and I had to have a mastectomy and chemo-am now on Tamoxifen.

So good luck for your first treatment-lots of nice ladies on this site to talk to.
