looking for support
Hello there,
I was just looking for words of encouragement. I just had my treatment 5 out of 6 today and I am happy about getting closer to finishing my treatment, but at the same time I am getting scared of recurrence. Everywhere I look I see something about Her2 having "poor prognosis" and high risk of recurrence. I worry about being able to watch my two children grow up. I did talk with a good doctor at Emory, who told me that with the size of my tumor and no lymph node involvement, there was a small chance of recurrence for the next ten years. But I still see some of you on this site with mets after only one or two years. Most of the time I am positive about this, but today I feel down. If there is anyone out there that has uplifting news or stories, please share them with me.
Love and prayers,
Annie
