Donna, you have such a great outlook. Thanks for the advice. I had a hard time accepting my diagnosis. I've always been so healthy. Being told I am Stage IV was a shocker.
I agree that we need to ignore the statistics, as they are based on older treatments. I will be on chemo for a total of 6 months (2 more rounds to go). I will continue Herceptin, but my doctor hasn't determined how long yet. He is going to check on some of the studies being done regarding short-time use vs. long-term.
I know what you mean about being called a "survivor." The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was very emotional for me, especially the survivor's ceremony. I don't feel that I've earned that title either. I like the idea of being called a warrior. You bet I will join you in our fight!!!
Mary, the link was exactly what I needed to hear.
This forum is an answer to my prayers. Although I am going through some really bad health issues, God shows himself to me every day. I am very blessed.
Carla
