Lexi,
This is wonderful site. You will get all the encouragement and support that you will need.
I feel like such a wimp-- I was dx'd 3/04 with stage 2B, her2 postive, er/pr neg - 4 of 18 lymph nodes invloved, had 2 surgeries, chemo and rad.-- currently on herceptin and will be for a year--( started in June of '05)
I'm 65 years old- though I don't look it !!!! and certainly don't act it !!!! I too am fearful of my future. I have 3 gorgeous grandchildren who are the light of my life and I fear that I won't get to see them grow up. So many of you gals are so young and have young children.
I feel fortunate to be on herceptin and know that it may be the insurance policy that I need and hopefully it will work to kill any residual rogue cells that may be " lurking" around. I'm a very postive person, very active at my local "Y" with aerobics, swimming, etc.- -- just bought a " hot"new car. etc. but still fearful at times. I don't know if that fear ever really goes away. Every time I feel a twinge in my head I think it's probably brain mets or an ache in my bones, I think it's bone mets..
But I will tell you that I am living my life to it's fullest right now and whatever comes along I will deal with. Whatever I need to do I will do it.
Keep the faith and you will do fine. Everyone here has such a courageous story-- these women are truly amazing and you will beat this. You are in my prayers, Lexigirl -- God Bless,
Carol
