Beverly's Story

I have been a survivor since 1993 with two separate diagnoses of breast cancer, the last in 2003. I have had two courses of chemo plus radiation. I am now stage 4 since just before Christmas of 2006, the cancer having spread to my bones.

I was hospitalized in 2005 with congestive heart failure after six months of herceptin. I spent 12 days in the hospital recuperating and almost three months out of work. This is really the bare bones of my story. I am currently on two courses of meds and so far seem to be doing well. I consider myself a true survivor and will continue on the road to being here as long as is possible.
