Re: Very Anxious
Dawn,
You can do this!!! I know this is the last place you want to be, but you will get through a 2nd time around.
I know because I've been there!! The drugs are more manageable and I was able to live a very full life while on Abraxane. The drugs actually worked as I am nearing a 1st year of being NED. I had a fast growing liver met that was at 3 CM. (nothing on the PET scan 6 months earlier).
So....you can beat this disease back and be here for your kids. (isn't that our first priority???) In the meantime, time marches on with new drugs, better procedures. If we can just outrun the bear....we are golden!!!
