Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 There is not a cure as such but b.c. is removable, treatable, and we can live knowing that it probably won't come back to the same spot. However, whatever caused it on one side could cause it on the other if not taken care of, in other words, if we don't take the medicines we are given such as tamoxifen to prevernt futher recurrence. Also if we don't have chemo or radiation if they were indicated. I am a five 1/2 year survivor and although the doctors don't say " cured " they do say, it is gone. The Komen Foundation is proably the world's largest group to fight breast cancer and they say, " When a cure for b. cancer is found, we will find another cause that we need a cure for. " in the meantime, the S. G. Komen mission is to " eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease through research, education, screening and treatment. " Or as we frequently say at our meetings, " We won't REST (Research, Ed.,Screening, Treatment) until there is a cure!
