Hi Sherri, and welcome from the Dinosauer, I think I am the one that starts with the letter "A" Annadah it think, anyway the nice old one, my now 4 year old grand daughter labelled me that one when we were playing at some stage, and she has been ripped away from me/us, and not through this disease but because her mother of 26years young, decides she now wants to be single again and have a LIFE!! they have both been in our family for just over 3 years and not has she only cut my son out of their lives, but his family as well. Haley isn't even a biological grandaughter, she is much more, we love her to pieces. I was diagnosed and commenced treatment in July 98, and haven't stopped since, I was given 2-3 years at best back then, that was a relief I was planning on going home and emptying out my wardrobe for the charity bin and cancelling my new specs. Today my Oncs just say it is a miracle I am still here and I don't even look sick, and for me to tell them what I want next, at last I have made a difference somewhere in life instead of just existing. I believe that as a result of Herceptin my BC has mutated and a big question mark for what to expect, I was about number 30 something up the Hercptin recepients list in Australia over 4 years ago now, and there are always tomorrow that come along with a new drug, so I am not nervous, I definately have a Pity Party for a day or so when I get bad, news then I just have to jump back in the pit and dive for another apple. I was 43 when first I found the lump and here I go again more treatment to start this week.
Ask away, whatever you like, when ever you like,your concerns, fears, info, laugh with us, cry with us, there is usually someone around the world logged on at any time of day, and brilliant how we get info when we are sleep and wake up to a new positive post with input. We even discuss intimate problems, but we can't see you blush unless you tick the blusing icon.
Love & Hugs Lyn
