Re: How can I keep my mother positive?

All of your posts and encouraging words are helping me prepare for beginning treatments. Stage One IDC clear nodes and margins 1.7 cm lumpectomy 2 wks ago Her2 ++( 5.8 )ER and PR 10% + each....poorly differentiated. Mar 1st I meet with radiologist, oncologist and surgeon as a team to see what the next step will be. The chemo is the only thing that scares me, like Rosa's mother I fear it will kill me instead of the cancer. I am learning about what questions to ask and how to advocate for myself through all of your posts. Thanks so much to all of you.
