How did you treat your breast cancer?

I’m curious as to what treatments various women undertook to deal with their breast cancer diagnosis. What treatment did you undergo and why? Did you choose one path over another due to religious or cultural ideas? Did your family support your choice? If they didn’t, why? Did family factor into your decision making process? What post management, if any, did you undergo?

Please include your cultural background (white, black, asian, pacific islander, ect) and the stage of your cancer in your answer.
I’m an undergraduate Anthropology student interested in the decision making process in treatment choices.

    Is it wrong to wear teal to a Susan G. Comen breast cancer walk?

    I do like to show my support, but I don’t feel like there is enough of an outpouring for other types of women’s cancers (teal for ovarian, teal & white for cervical, and peach for uterine) Is it frowned upon to support other women’s cancers at a breast cancer walk?

      Another question for breast cancer survivors?

      Now that my surgery is behind me, I am facing radiation and possibly chemo. I’ll know more from my doctors next week. I will ask my docs these questions, but until then — my question is for those who have or are facing radiation – please tell me your experiences, good or bad. I’m trying to get my research and questions done this weekend.

      Thanks, YA community for your help.

Woman are hearing a lot of different information from a lot of different studies – do how do we know what is right? Dr. Allan Magaziner from The Magaziner Center for Wellness joined Fox 29′s Lauren Cohn to talk more about this study.
