Hi Diane,
You sound discouraged, depressed and scared - all feelings that are no stranger to the girls on this board. We can all relate - sometimes these feelings can just be overwhelming. Thank God you have a great sounding board here!
It won't take long for the survivors to start lining up; there are plenty of them. I for one have to throw my hat in the ring; as you can see by my signature I have stage 4 cancer; Her 2 +++; I have metastasis to my lungs and liver. I am 5 and 1/2 years post metastatic diagnosis - I have been NED for 5 1/2 years with no reoccurrence after my initial treatment with Herceptin and Navelbine. I am surviving and thriving.
The girls here will help you reach out of your dark spot and find a bucket of light and hope that is well within your reach.
Love and Hugs,
Kim from CT
