but, how do you guys get through each day..I mean what do you tell yourself when you feel something anything..... I'm totally obsessing about brain mets..I've never had and mri on anything..I also don't trust myself to accurately observe symptoms especially when I'm in obsessive mode...I don't even know what I'm getting at here except that I need to learn how to stop obsessing!!!!! So what do you tell yourselves when you start obsessing???? I try saying well if it is something then we will deal with it and get on with things...sometimes this works and than there are times a little voice says "you know this kills people all the time, what makes you think you won't be one of them..." and on and on it goes...

Also does anyone know if canadians even do the gamma knife procedure...there I go again...obsessing...

I should be some what relieved that my tumor marker (ca15-3) came down from 74 to 39 in one treatment of herceptin and zometa..does this mean that I would be highly her2 pos? I have no idea how pos I am. I do know that at original dx(2001), but I was also pregnant at the time..hmmmm I was only a +1 for estrogen. No idea about progesterone, although what do you think about an imbalance between these two hormones as a possible cause of breast cancer, and if so, doesn't it make sense to try and balance them??
Please give me advice on what you tell yourselves when those little obsessive thoughts come your way please!!!!!
