An extra one is not having to shave your leg any underarms for a pretty long time.
You dont need to puck you eyebrows either.

I loved this post. I would add: I learned a lot about myself, and: I found out how strong I really am.

great to see sense of humour and positive attitude best cure you can get
good luck with it all and keep smiling

Starwish and belle, We all learn alot when we are fighting cancer. I know with you since of humor and love it makes fighting alot easier.
One year after I lost my Mom I found out I had stage 3 IDC and Had surgery and chemo alone. Some friends sometime, People where scared. I told them I was going to win. I have some side effects from the chemo, But I love each day and love to laugh. God bless you both and hope to see you on-line more. (with a laugh or two) Love,Debbie

Great Post! You forgot one though, you don't have to shave your legs for 6 months!

Hi bethabouts, Thankyou I will add it on

Every holiday is more enjoyable cause we are happy to be here still!

You get alot of free meals and cookies to freeze and have later which saves you money!

Thanks for your post. Sometimes you must keep life in perspective. I lost my mother just a few months before I found a lump. She was a nurse so she had always been there to turn to. Now I feel I am sort of out there on my own. Dad prays for me and tries to be supportive, but he is still trying to deal with my mother's death like the rest of us. The best news we had was my son came home from his 4th combat tour and now is out of the USMC. Thank God for miracles.
