Hi Sherry,

I know how you feel. I've got my five year old son and two year old daughter that I wait to see to 18. It gets so scary sometimes. I notice every little thing they do and sometimes I think Im going to drive myself crazy holding on to everything. I just had a major meltdown last night, my husband did his best, but its hard for anyone to come to your rescue when they don't know what is going on in your head. My one year anniversary is coming up in March and I wonder too, how many more I've got. But then I tell myself, why should I be any different from anyone else with BC. On the other hand my oncs are very optimistic with my treatment and are looking at long term. But why not ask for a lot. We've all had to take a lot since or DX so what is wrong with a little in return. I don't think it's a lot when you're asking to raise your children to adulthood. I know Im looking forward and going to fight for it. Here's hoping they'll get a cure!!!!
