I've never felt I don't belong, or an outsider although there's still so much I don't understand that I love to come here and applaud the knowledge everyone shares here.
I'd like to think herceptin has done the trick for me and I'll never get mets but if ever I do, I know I won't be half as scared since knowing some of the brave ladies here who continue to live life and be happy while still in treatments for stage iv. You've all taught me this need not be a death sentence anymore and I recommend this site to anyone just starting out.
Hopefully one day I'll even understand some of the scientific detailed posts which right now just leave me in awe and feeling pretty dumb!!
