    Hello everyone, I am Patricia, 65 years old, and live in Connellsville with my husband of 45 years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast in 2017. I had a lumpectomy and radiation treatments. Also had a little lymphedema. In 2023 I was diagnosed with radiation induced Angiosarcoma. (The radiation treatments I had in 2017 caused the rare case of Angiosarcoma.) I had chemo and immunotherapy, a complete mastectomy of that breast, and radiation treatments again. My CT scans have been clean since I finished all my treatments, however, in January the CT scans showed diverticulitis with a fistula to my bladder. (Not a cancer.) In March, I had a section of my colon removed and the fistula. My next CT scan is next week, so I am praying for another clean scan.
    I have been participating in HF since the fall of 2023 and I look forward to each session. There is always something to learn. Cancer Bridges and HF really is a community that makes you feel welcome.
