Barbara:
That's an excellent question. I have asked repeatedly why I'm Stage two as opposed to Stage one and never got an answer that satisfied me. I meet with a third oncologist in three weeks - I'll try him out. (The other two retired.)
One of them mentioned that I was right on the cusp - the dividing line between no treatment after surgery and full treatment and that explained the diagnosis. It still doesn't sit right with me. But I've been considered stage two right from the start so after 18 months I'm still confused.
I have to thank you all for your responses. I was actually quite teary when I read them. I haven't talked to anyone about how I've felt - my friends think I've soldiered through and I don't want to drag them - or anyone - down.
So I think it's something that a lot of us deal with on our own. Who else would understand?
But thank you, thank you, thank you.
