KitKat,

You will find, just as I have, that these survivors are the best! At first I thought there was no hope after looking at a study, and then a friend sent me this site...it changed my outlook completely! We all have our "scarey" moments, but I decided early on that my life could not revolve around the "what ifs" of BC, and it was not going to ruin my life, and those precious little moments with my family and friends. I truly believe that God has a plan for us when we are born, and we have to make the most of everyday. I find my joy in helping others.

Out of 15 nodes, I had only 1 that was positive, but 6 were very large and looked "suspicious". My last chemo will be on 10/14, then I will begin rads x 35, Herceptin will decrease from weekly to every 3 weeks at that time.

Just keep reading these threads, living and loving life!!! Keep us updated
