    Diagnosed with stage 3, breast cancer in July of 2000. I had every kind of tx available thrown at me and finally had to stop as it was becoming too dangerous for me to continue. I was allergic to some of the chemo. I had a lumpectomy, radiation and chemotherapy and ended up having a double mastectomy in December, 2007. Reconstruction not possible due to skin damage from radiation.
    I'm currently clean and am a 12yr survivor. Praise God and may He bless you all.

    Non-Hodgin Lymphoma. Diagnosed last December at age 22, 23 now.
    Tumor in right armpit, hotspots behind my left pec and in my galbladder. Scan after 4th round of treatment was completely clean!
    Currently still in treatment. Round 7 of 8 next friday and radiotherapy after but it looks like I'll beat it.
    Managed to gain about 7kg of muscle mass since starting my treatment and exercise is a great way to battle the fatigue!
    Anyone feel free to add me as a friend and good luck in your fights :)

    Uterine cancer (clear cell very agressive) about 5 yrs ago. A year ago had surgery on ankle for squamous cell carcinoma. This year cancer dr. told me it was cancer number 3 on my upper lip but biopsy proved otherwise so lucked out on that one.
