new kid on block
Hi Sonya,
I'm new to this also
49
her2+, er-
stage 1
dx july 2005
right breast
mastec
plan 4ac, 4 taxol w herceptin,
1 year herceptin, weekly. This is soooooo far away, I don't think of it. I guess I'll get a port. One more scar. Plan recon afterward- again so far away.
You do have your kids to fight for but you have to fight for your self as well because in this world there was only one YOU!!! and there was a reason for you to be. I have older girls (almost 21 and 17)- don't need my physical assistance to bathe, feed them etc as when they were little, but I need to be there to see them trough life.
I'm also very glad to see this support group. I'm learning a lot from all. It's so good to talk, it's hard for me to continuously disscuss cancer 24/7 with family, although that is what is on my mind 24/7.
My onc is good but is detached, you know what I mean?
Fear and scared is there all the time for me. I think we all are. My fears run from not knowing enough, am I getting the right treatment, will it nuke this sucker, pop ups in other places, re currence, relationships with my husband and daughters, loss of my job and financial security, loss of goals, dreams, plans. Who cares about loss of hair at this point? Oh yeah it's scarry.
keep up the spirit. we are all together
