a big thankyou

I really do not know what to say to all you kind people who replied to my post yesterday, after finding out i am her2 + with 7 positive nodes i felt my world had cavced in and i felt so alone, although it is awful there are others like me it helps a great deal to know we are all in this together....i dont know which way to look at the moment, im a little scared to research to much into the meaning of this as i dont want to hear that its incurable, but judging from what alot of you wonderful people have said this is a curable disease and im going to try and hold onto that.
Im still very upset today but i think i'll bounce back in a few days, suicidal thoughts are begginning to go and i'll try and get on with this as best as possible, please please keep in touch and best of luck and love to all of you.

Hang in there Nikki. You have to believe that you can beat this. Just because we are Her2+ doesn't mean you will definately have a recurrence. I know how upsetting this is, we have all been there. But, the longer you go and incorporate your diagnosis into your life the easier it will get. Just give it time!! You will be okay. Think positive and ignore the negative. It's the devil talkin.

Big Hugs To You.

I firmly believe that fear can kill us long before this disease. a.k.a. Chicken Little!

You just got one hell of a shock. Of course you're depressed. And angry. And scared. So was I this past Sept. when I got my own bad news.
But, believe this, it may take a bit of time, but your feelings will change. Use all the positive people and resources you can find, and you'll reach a point where you're ready to fight. We've all been there. Now we fight for ourselves, for our families and for one another. You said you have a little son? What better reason can you possibly have than to fight for his right to have you as his Mummy.

Stay in touch with us, Nikki.

Love and light,

Lisa

Thankyou for all your words of encouragement, im going to keep checking in as ive found this site to be the most relevant one for me, you are all so strong, i guess we all have our off days but to hear women surviving many many years is so inspiring, still not sure about what the recurrance rates are in her2+ though does anybody know, i know im asking questions which i probably wount like the answers too but i need to know...
Love n hugs
