Kelli,
If the mood strikes, allow yourself that weepy time or even a big sobby cry or scream in your pillow. Good release.
We will all be there for you as you enter your chemo fight.
Just to let you know I have a very good friend here who was in her early 40s with stage 2 bc. She had her chemo, it's been 10 yrs now and she is doing absolutely perfect...NED.
Before I started chemo, I looked at her and just knew, if she could do it, and be like she is now, so can I!
We will all be there for you.
Aloha,
Maryanne
