As a breast cancer survivor I will say that OBVIOUSLY I am happy to be alive. However, there needs to be more focus on quality of life in breast cancer treatment and research. I was diagnosed at 29, and I will live the rest of my life with a compromised immune system, non-functional chest muscles, lymphatic issues, and persistent anemia and fatigue. Mostly likely I was over treated due to my age and aggressiveness of the cancer. Again, I am thankful to be alive and I am grateful for the amazing doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. But with people being diagnosed younger and living decades post-treatment there needs to be research into quality of life that can help guide treatment decisions.

I thought that said Charles Schumer 😂
