The New York Times describes a new study today that some women with early breast cancer may be able to get away with less radiation that previously recommended.
Unfortunately--as one of quoted experts admits--many doctors will be slow to institute the changes so women will have be assertive about asking for this new protocol. Just more evidence that you really need to do your homework before starting cancer treatment (as if any of us who have been through treatment didn't know this already)...

My way to connect with friends and family, thank them for all their support, and keep them up to date on my fight against cancer. Of course, I'll toss in my thoughts on everything else ;)
About me
- Simon C.
- I'm a writer, animal lover, nature freak, and longtime activist dealing with her third bout of cancer. This time it's leukemia. It's a long story but the leukemia originated with my breast cancer treatment in '03. Despite my bad luck with chemo, I'm trying it again (a different type), hoping it will slow the progression of my current disease. But I'm also looking into alternative treatments. Any suggestions?
