I'm so glad we all have each other!
KsGal, listen. You are NOT a statistic. Statistics are old, we are in a new age of medicine. Statistics are only going to get better because of US!!
My rad onc said that I'm going to live a long time. My MO said 1-2 years. I think they just don't know, and they like to cover their own butts.
I am depressed too. I have a bottle of celexa waiting for me to take. It takes a couple of weeks to kick in, so maybe I should start taking it.
SO - I think we should go with the live in the moment attitude. I know it's hard not to slip in to a funk. Everyday seems to be a struggle.
I was diagnosed Nov. 2011 with stage 3a then Sep 2012 brain met, so we are sort of similar in that sense. I get it.
PM me anytime. Maybe we can talk each other out of a depression.
As for the funeral arrangements. Bypass that one. I'd say. Lets try to focus on life. I had the talk with my husband, and closed that chapter forever.
SO, if this message is making any sense, cuz the steroid is making me loopy, I just want us all to raise our green teas and toast each other for being the best bunch of GD women out there! We are strong, we are there for each other, we are loved by each other, and we are on this crazy roller coaster ride with each other. Cheers to all of you. Hugs, BIG hugs to you KsGal and to all of you reading this. Just think, 2033 is just around the corner. We'll be old pros on this board for future generations to come! (not like that's good for ones to come, but that's reality)
