Dawn, No you aren't the only one in your stage of bc. Like you said...me and you both have almost the exact same DX. And there are many more out there. We all have to stick together and we WILL get through this.

I made it through my chemo...have Rads appt. Tues so we will see what they say and how much fun that will be. I am not looking forward to that because its a EVERY day thing. But I have learned with this...you take one day at a time. This too will pass.

But I am so glad you found this board Dawn...it has a wealth of information here, and any time you need questions answers, just some support, to vent, laugh, cry...heres the place.

Just remember...you can do this...and you will get through it. Might not be alot of fun sometimes...but you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hang in there...sending you warm & healing thoughts.
