My Breast Cancer Treatment Diary: Penny's Story

Flash Replacement Download Flash player

NOTE: The diaries featured in this Web site are a compilation and restatement of chronological events as remembered by the invasive breast cancer patients looking back on their experience with breast cancer. Further, the diary entries here reflect just one patient's experience with breast cancer. Because breast cancer is a complex disease and because each patient's disease is unique, not every patient will benefit the same way from every treatment approach. It is important to work with your healthcare team to determine the appropriate options for treating your individual breast cancer diagnosis so that you can make an educated treatment decision.
