Cathy,

Thanks for the support again, I am pushing too hard. I want everything to be like it was before diagnosis and thats just not possible. I also forgot that people assume I am male because of my name. I am a 39 year old female. It is great having an Aunt for an Onc. She pushed my Onc to give me the latest chemo treatments, even though the hospital I go to was not on the protocol. Thats the only downside, when she disagrees with my Onc because she has her direct phone number and will call her right up!
The other point for me is that one tumor was ER,PR negative Her2 3+, and the other was all negetive.(scary).

So I think everything is metastis and I feel like I am crazy and not enjoying my life. How is that for putting it out there! Hey if I cant be honest here, then where can I be, right?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Shawn
