I knew what I had to do

I think the things are in divine order, because here was another Latino female talking to me about my pathology report. And she said my mother died of breast cancer and she said "If I were you, I would go ahead and have mastectomy." And I already knew that. That was what I had to do. I knew that I wasn't going to sit there and go for the okey-doke on the radiation and chemotherapy. So, like a true champ I went home, drank a bottle of wine, called my comrade up and we went out for a drive and talked about these things. And it was just a question of where am I going to have the mastectomy done, and selecting a doctor with whom I felt comfortable
