Was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer Feb 2010. Had a lumpectomy and 14 lymph nodes removed, two were positive. Did 5 rounds of chemo and 8 weeks of radiation. Uterus removed in 2000 and ovaries in Oct. of 2010. Experiencing sever lower back pain, finishing steroids and muscle relaxes with really no relief.
