I was just recently diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer. I had a bilateral masectomy this January, and I am paricipating in a clincal study (Herceptin, Doxil, & Carbo). My doctor told me the average is 2 years of remission, but I am hoping to be in the higher numbers. That group everyone together regardless of age, health, etc. I am in great shape other than the cancer, and Lord knows I want to live.
I am 49 and raising a 12-year-old grandson who needs me. I also take care of my elderly mom. I am scared too and find it hard to stay positive when all the stats are negative. Let me know if you find some positive stories we can share.
