I was stage 1, node neg, er-pr-her2+. Got my diagnosis one year ago. Got lumpectomy, dose dense AC, Taxol & Herceptin, radiation and am taking Arimidex. Chemo was no walk in the park, but the memory has really faded. I was terrified first few months after diagnosis. I went to a support group at Wellness Community, got on this website and eventually lost some of the fear of this disease. On the positive side, I made some changes in my life that needed changing. I learned awe and respect for the human body -- everybody's tumor and treatment experience is unique. Please try to take it one day at a time -- one hour at a time if you must. I remember trying to look ahead and it was like looking into a fog. I had no idea what was in store and there was no way to predict or control. So I took it one day at a time. That helped. And I got through it. You will too....MJO
