I think that the odds have improved enormously with the new targeted therapies like Herceptin. Your onc is right, your chances of surviving are pretty good. None of us know why or how we survived, so we do what we can, and it seems to work for most of us.

Ofcourse you are scared, and confused right now. It's normal. And it will fade. And if the fear gets to you in the middle of the night, we are here to lend our ears, shoulders and arms to listen, support and hug you.

Love

Jacqueline
