Hello. You came to the right place for encouragement! I was diagnosed in 5/00 at the age of 31 and one surgeon felt I would live only 18 mos.. Well here I am. My body remains w/o cancer but I have had brain mets 3 times. I take Herceptin every three weeks to help keep my body clear of the cancer the brain is a bit more tricky.
Another thing is any doctor who discourages you-move on. Did you ask the doctor or did he volunteer how long he expected you to live. Nobody knows until we are close to death. Everybody does eventually die. I look for a docot who feels that we are a team and we will fight this together.
