Dear Halvah, You have received some wonderful responses from some wonderful people, and I hope they have lifted your spirits. You are not alone! I am so glad you reached out and so glad for the responses you've received. I am an example of the fact that BC is not a death sentence. I am 77, and have been fighting BC for over 20 years, since 1985, when I had a bilateral mnastectomy. I've had two reoccurances: the first in 1990 to my spine, which became NED (No Evidence Of Disease) after about 5 years, and to my lungs in 2004. The last mets were her2, and estrogen and progesterin positive. I was on navelbine 6 months with herceptin and femara, then just femara after 9 more months. My last two PET/CT scans were NED, and I have another one due the end of this month which I expect to be NED, too. BC may eventually kill me, but after fighting it for all these years I am no longer afraid and I know I will be around as long as the Lord has use for me to be here. I have absolute faith that the next life is even better than this one, and I am looking forward to death as the next great adventure. Hang in there, dear girl! Stay positive---as I've said before, fear and faith cannot co-exist. One will cancel out the other, so the trick is to stay positive and do all you can to increase your faith. I hope you know now that this wonderful website is full of caring, loving, knowledgeable people. We have been through what you are going through. We understand your pain and fear. When we say they will pray for you, we really will. Let us know how things go. Hugs, TriciaK
