Re: Positive stories, please come out of the woods
Dear Marcia,
I've just found this thread of yours and it certainly is what I have been seaching for. As a stage 3 BC patient, there are a lot of reasons to fear. I do want to live my life happily and staying focus on present, not to think much of what will happen in the future BUT the demon called "cancer", even worse with Her-2 middle name, always drag me out of what I desire.
I do not have any positive story to share yet. On the other hand, you've been giving me hope and inspirations to fight. As per the fact that our dxs are similar, I've been following your great and successful stories since coming into this warm world.
Keep it on and I will be expecting to read your success story years after years. Hopefully I will be able to share mine one day.
Hugs from Thailand
Gift
