Kelly,
I hardly ever post but you hit a nerve. You brought me right back to where I was once. (I am 1 year post diagnosis) still on tamoxifen and herceptin. I have 2 small children.
I had so many days when I thought I couldn't do it anymore. Trust me you will get through it and you WILL feel like yourself again.
I also had the superwomen complex and found it difficult to accept help but you must accept it and take care of yourself first and foremost.
I agree that you typically read about reoccurance but I agree with the other posts that I find that the people who post the most are the ones that need the support. I check in now and again but I find that when I read to much I start to freak out.
Their are so many advances in medicine today. Just look at herceptin. For all the complaints you may hear about it, its truly a miracle drug. Just remember their are new advances every day.
So remember its ok to feel bad some days but you will get through it for you and your family. It will truly give you new perspective on life. I don't sweat the small stuff so much these days and I try and enjoy my kids all the time.
Lots of Luck and Love. Elaine
