Wow. I understand that you are upset and angry - but please consider the impact of your words when you post.
Many of us are Stage IV and we visit this site for the support that it offers. I was pained more than I can ever say to read your words writing us off as being "on the way out" with chemo to prolong my suffering. I work very hard to protect myself from negative statements like yours - they are really tough to handle. This site was the last place in the world I would have expected to read such a thing.
"On the way out" DOES NOT EVEN REMOTELY DESCRIBE MY LIFE -- I have three young kids and I will move heaven and earth to stay here for them. I think it was inconsiderate, rude and self-centered of you to write something like that. I only hope that your anger momentarily caused you to be lacking in any grace and judgment.
Think twice about the impact of your words on others. And be grateful that you still may, in fact, not recur with this disease. And still yet, you may find a doctor to give herceptin not if that is what you want.
But please, above all, respect that many of us walk in the path that you dread-- and we wouldn't wish this upon anyone - but take greater care in how you describe our challenge.
