Helen--A 35-year Survivor

 I was a young chick of 52 in January 1973.  A new year--I moved to a new town, into a new apartment, and started a new job.  Of course I had a mantra--"73 for me!"
 
In June of 1973 I had a modified radical mastectomy.  So much for mantras!  BUT, here I am, 2008, thirty five years later in very fine fettle with no problems!  YEAH!
 
PS I'm 87 years old and still don't have to color my hair!
