Marcia,
I can understand how you feel. Often times I have asked why me? Why did I find my cancer earlier when so many of my dear sisters did not? It is way too painful when considering why some of our sister's are failing on trials and treatments while others are surviving.

None of us on this site are famous or super stars...but I believe that for some reason our life path has crossed and we were meant to do somthing. I really believe that
we are here for a reason and that is to help others.

I too lost a young friend at 28 yrs old to breast cancer 30 yrs ago. It shook me to my core. We were young,
just out of college and on our way starting our careers.
We were both newly engaged - she never made it to the alter.

Since those years I have lost more friends and loved ones. I guess the simple answer is "this is Life."

All I can suggest is think of those we lost often and honor them. Second do all we can to help others who fight this beast. Be positive and never let this ugly nasty disease beat our souls....it does enough to our bodies and minds.

Live your life in love, strength and appreciation for each day.

I hope you begin to feel better.
Kindest Regards,
Jean
