In the words of one of my dear friends, I will soon have extreme survivor street cred to go with my business cred/philanthropic cred/cooking cred/jewelry makin' cred.... I am a 39 year old female entrepreneur living in Athens, GA, and a future breast cancer survivor.
Severity ranging from 1-10 during post chemo recovery, 1 being less severe and 10 being most severe. Just an aside….A-C was MUCH WORSE than Taxol. That is how it was in my case.
