Re: crazy request for my oncologist?

I really like CoolBreeze's response to remain positive and love each day. I'm just in the beginning of this journey and have learned so much from all of you. I must laugh every day and stay upbeat and positive, and then the reality steps in about this disease. That causes anxiety which makes me grumpy and sad and worried. I don't want to be overly optimistic, but I certainly feel better when I think positively. So does my family and my students. I'm pretty sure I will feel anxious too when I get off the Herceptin late next year. I hope you keep posting because your journey will inspire mine.
