Re: I sure could use a pep talk

I know that it is hard not to worry but here are a few facts about worry. 98 percent of the things that you worry about never happen. look at the odds. They are in your favor. Second, you will have aches and pains, some worse than others. Next thing, just enjoy the day, each and every day. you are doing the right thing by getting it checked out. I too was a stage 3. 6.2 cm tumor, had a mastectomy and 15 months of chemo, radiation, and herceptin. One node positive. My family doctor told me to "go home and enjoy the life you have left". Guess what I found another doctor and 4 years later I'm still here and going strong. And if it is a progression, this too can be overcome. Live, love, pray, and give thanks each day!
