Re: 4 years at Stage IV.
I for one am glad you are surviving and thriving. Live and you honor the fallen. Don't waste a precious minute on guilt; they would not wish it of you.
I remember the wacky nose drips where one minute I am talking to a friend and the next my upper lip is wet from my Herceptin-nose-faucet! My nails looked as though I bit them to the quick when in fact I have never been one to bite my nails. And the perpetual menopause from Tamoxifen? Oh yeah, that too! All are very annoying. Living to see another dawn....priceless!
