Re: How to start over...
Ginny,
I agree..shame on your doctor for not giving you anything but hope at this stage! I know they see this everyday, but as you will read here on this site, breast cancer treatment is in a new place now. Targeted therapy, vaccines, gamma knife have changed the face of treatment! Do not give up hope. Find a doctor who is willing to encourage you and try whatever it takes to survive! Hugs from me.....
