Hi Suzanne,
And welcome to a wonderful family of strong fighting sisters!
My 2 cents worth:
Concentrate on truly living and enjoying those two beautiful children.
Also know that in the short time since I was dx. 4/05 there have been
many changes in treatment with her2. You must do your research, ask questions and also get second opinions. Of course there is this wonderful group to bounce off from as most here have great experience and wisdom.
Please do not feel that bc cancer means instant doom. Yes, it is terrifying to be told you have bc, waiting for your dr. visits, waiting to start treatment etc. It is overwhelming! Know three things:
* Be informed
* Then take control
* Keep a positive attitude
We are all here for you...and YOU WILL GET through this!
Many Hugs,
Jean
