just more support

So sorry about the stupid nodes! Keep in mind that the doc doesn't know you or YOUR cancer well enough to know if mets are inevitable or not. And the other gals have already told you so muxh that is true about current treatments and drugs like herceptin. I think you can handle all of this really well and we are here for you. So is your husband!!!
