Angela,

I was feeling afraid too when I started reading these messages. Find the positive and grab onto it. I am 58. My tumor was 5cm and no nodes out of 21. Receptors pos. had 4 of a/c, 33 rad. and am on tamoxifin now (2 mos). We will be fine and the others with mets just have to hang on a little longer and most seems to be hanging on very well for a very long time. In the not too distant future cancer will be managed like AIDS. Remember how scary that was? There is only good news! I work at NIH and cancer research is at a feverish pitch! May God bless all of you and give you His peace.
