I can remember how scared and shocked I was when I first started my treatments. I was diagnosed at the age of 31 (I'm 33 now) and I have two kids, also. I had the AC, taxol, herceptin, and radiation. I taught 7th grade through the whole thing. I used a lot of hand sanitizer to keep the germs away. I tried to keep life as normal as posible. I felt a little yucky at times (especially while on the AC), but I made it. I am fortunate to have a super supportive husband, without his help, I could have never made it. Like you, I was healthy and had a hard time believing that I had cancer. Everyone reacts differently, but it sounds like you have a good doc and that makes a HUGE difference. You will find this support group will be very valuable. Fight hard now so you don't have to worry about it so much later.
