I’m 47 and have been living with cancer for 8 years … and yes … cancer sucks big time.

About me … I value commitment, a strong work ethic, being a person of their word, and having strong morals. Generally, I’m a very organized and responsible person who tries to offer a bright and positive presence.

Comments:

Thanks Daria! With my cancer having come back a second time I am nervous about this stuff. My doctors said I don’t need a CAT scan or a body scan but I think I will sleep better at night if I have one done. Am I just paranoid? Did you ever have a breast MRI?
