Surgical Treatment Controversy....

So in the news lately I have been hearing a lot of controversy regarding whether some of the women/men actually need the surgery to remove the cancer, instead of just treating it with Chemo and/or radiation. Well here is my thought:

I was presented with Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer (2x's) and once I had surgery to remove the cancer in the cervix, it went away only to return. I was then diagnosed with Breast Cancer, which is a lot more aggressive than Cervical Cancer! Now if I had a choice, which I didn't, of Surgery OR Poison to kill of the Cancer Cells, and they could tell me that either would do the exact same thing. I would have STILL chosen the surgery! Here is why:

I have breasts, breast tissue, and treating breast tissue with Chemo and/or radiation does not kill breast tissue, leaving tissue to later get a disease possibly.  SO, if you have a choice to remove it and have a less than 1% chance of re-occurrence or occurrence at all, why not?! I still had to have Chemo, but no radiation, so after going through Chemo twice, I would MUCH rather have a surgery than Chemo any day! Chemo literally states on the bag and the literature "poison" so if you could have surgery to remove this horrible disease instead of poisoning your body, why not?

This is obviously case by case, this in no way accounts for every patient, type of Cancer, or person. I have my own beliefs behind this, this is not everyone's belief, and I am okay with that! I will not argue with anyone regarding this, because again everyone has their own beliefs, feelings, religious reasons, and personal reasons. I personally like my "New Boobs", but the surgeries are hard, are grueling, and are not always 100%, but I do like my odds better now than if I were to have NOT had the surgery! My other reasons
behind why I did EVERYTHING in my power to ensure that there was NO more Cancer in my body....

       These three amazing people,
                           they were reason enough!
