Dear Joy,
Like everyone posted before me, it is not the news we wanted to hear....
Fighting this disease is a difficult battle, hey they don't call us survivors for nothing.
You are so dear to us Joy - and so loved. Your pain is ours also.
Now, on the up side - your dr. sounds great! Having been in S.A.B.C. I have seen first hand how the dr. discuss different aspects of treatment and the information is powerful. With that said, let's wait to see upon you Dr return what course of action will be best for you....do not dispair or give up....certainly you feel let down, isn't that normal. Allow yourself to feel those emotions.
You are truly blessed in that you have a great loving & supportive family. Joy take one day at a time and give yourself some time to absorb the new treatment information..
I am sending you a huge hug, along with my prayers.
Jean
