Alice;

I have had the same feelings many times. I find coming to this site is the answer for me.....it is here I find hope. Yesterday for example I read here about lapatinib this new drug currently in clinical trials. It targets Her1 AND Her2 and is small enough to cross the body/brain barrier....so it holds hope for brain mets (a big fear for me as I had a tumor in my supraclavicular node heading in that direction). I'll start to follow it. Plus there's lots of other information here to give me hope......different treatments. I just finished the book about the discovery of Her2 by Robert Bazell. Just the amazing story of this wonderful drug gave me hope of more future treatments. This is how I keep putting one foot in front of the other each day....dreaming of a great future full of who knows what.....all the possibilities. The worst case is not to finish after all.....it's not to start.
