Re: Decided to post...because I know you will understand...
Maureen -
I am so sorry about your friend. It's a hard loss.
I have a book to recommend. "Dancing in Limbo: Making Sense of Life after Cancer " by Glenna Halvorson-Boyd and Lisa Hunter. I don't know if this book has been sited on this forum before or not. I was given this book by someone at a cancer support group years ago when I was right where you are at today. Having finished all the treatments, scared, not knowing where my life would go next. It is written by 2 survivors, not breast but other kinds of cancers, but I thought they had gotten inside my head and knew exactly what I was thinking and feeling. I know I felt much better after reading the book. I'd forgotten about it, but might have to read it again.
I'm going to be waiting to read about your scan results and praying that they are all clear. Pam
