FOB,
Reading your post I can hear your exhaustion and feel your disappointment.
Isn't is so true, that once you have been dx. with bc and you hear the usually everyday issues of others, you know they don't realize that they do not have serious problems.
It isn't easy to hear the silly complaints when fighting so hard. For myself, often times during the week I will have to endure the worthless complaints that really are not important at all (compared to the reality) of a women fighting her way to NED.

I am deeply sorry to hear that you are at 17% but remain strong as you are not out of the trail. It is wise of you to seek alternatives and as you already know when pushing open doors, light will come through.
I realize it is a difficult time for you, but please know many of your sisters are here and supporting you.

Now, as far as that stinky weather, being a dog lover like you, if you can't walk your little darling, then just hold her/or / him and snuggle. The sun will shine on both of you.

Many hugs being sent.
Jean
