Happy Holidays. I am so thankful that I have found this site. I have been on so many others and this is so positive. I tend to get really down sometimes and every time I read this site, I have hope. I was diagnosed with stage IIIA in November with 7/12 nodes positive, ER/PR (-), HER2 +++. All my scans came back clear. I have started my chemo regimen and for the most part I am doing fine. I have a beautiful 2 year old named Emma who is the light of my life. It scares me to think that I won't see her grow up. I was wondering if there are any long-term survivors around. In my gut I feel like I am going to beat this and it is merely and inconvenience. Am I crazy to think that? I want to have a long life and see her grow up. I am so scared.
