Hi Friend,

I am one year and 2 months into this process. I was stage 3c at diagnosis, but after chemotherapy and Herceptin, I had surgery and they found no cancer cells! There is much to be excited about in terms of current treatment, much of it so new that statistical information doesn't reflect what is true for today. The only thought I can offer is try to turn the WHAT IFs into WHAT NOWs. If you can concentrate on the fact that you have great methods of treatment on your side and that this IS a curable disease, the what nows are doable. God has never given me the grace for the what ifs, but he had given me abundant grace for the what nows.

Blessings to you, Kathy
