Chelee,
I really feel for you and certainly understand why you are so upset. Just try and look at the positives - you had the mastectomy, your breast cancer is hormone dependent which is much better than just being HER2+, and you have had chemotherapy. I know several women who have not had radiation and so far they have not had any mets. I know that this is not too much comfort to you but I know you'll be fine. You are much too strong a person to let this beast beat you! Keep fighting! You're in my thoughts and prayers.
