I felt the same way. Even tried to convince my husband to date and find a new "mother" for out 3 and 6 year olds.

I am now just under two years out and they can't find it anywhere. I am cautiously optimistic. I think that it is really important to show her the new stats. Her2 is actually becoming a good thing as long as it has not spread at diagnosis. With herceptin and now tykerb, not to mention dietary changes you can reduce your chances dramatically.

This time is the darkest part of the journey. Once she has surgery she will feel much better, and so will you.
