If I listened to the doctors every time they told me I was dying, I'd be dead 4 or 5 times over some 7 or so years ago. Thank God I don't listen, and you shouldn't either!! As to not having anything in common with us, that's just not true. You and all of us are fighting for our lives everyday, and that's just too common. My circumstances are not the same as anyone else either, but I still come here for the support and love that has always been available. For over a year now, none of the information pertaining to inflammatory bc, being stage IV, metastasic disease, her2, er+/pr+ etc...has been my priority. For a long time, I did not feel like I belonged on the BC boards or the Leukemia boards. Very few people get leukemia from chemo like I did. I tell my story just in case one person needs to know. I am sorry you feel lost right now, but I'm happy that you are becoming proactive in your care and going to CA. I had to leave my 2 teens (and my dog) for nearly 2 months and travel 8 hours away. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I do believe it was my CURE!! I pray you find your cure too!!! Good luck and God bless...
