Re: Very nervous

Hi coolbreeze. I hear your anxiety and I am sure it is so difficult to wait. You are so brave and have have been strong and determined through this last surgery. If the doctor feels your liver needs to be strong enough to process the chemo and herceptin I think that is as you have said a reality here. As the ladies said here follow your heart and instincts. Perhaps try a meditation tape and breathing to get you through this. You were speaking of tatoos. I had bilateral breast cancer with double mastectomy and no reconstruction. I have decided to get a very delicate small cherry blossom tatoo across the top of chest on the right side. I didn't know until I was looking for a picture that cherry blossoms
mean "rebirth" so I feel that we will all keep being reborn, going through the struggles
and keep going. Ann I wish you strength, determination and calmness you will get through this stuff be the optimistic person you are!
