    I didn't have invasive bc
    I didn't have invasive bc and no chemo or radiation.I don't know what everyone says about it because I havent been through it.BUT when I was told I had bc I wasn;t sure what my treatment was going to be but I stayed strong.Whatever they throw at me I have to take it.AND believe me I am afraid of alot of things esp when it comes to my health.

    Two years could turn into 10 years and then maybe 20.Doctors can estimate but they never kow for sure.New things are coming out.I have heard of doctors telling patients they have 2 year and year later they are still living and doing fine.It is your decision.I understand you are tired of it all.BUY you never know if it wlll work if you don't try.

    Start the fight and see how it goes.Remember believe in miracles.I do.Wishing you the best.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT

    choices
    Kari,
    I just want to say that choosing no treatment is not "giving up". This is a very, very difficult decision for any body. My sister had several mets over a period of several years. If radiation could take care of it, she did that. She did not want chemo. She ended up surviving a lot longer than her doctors had anticipated.
    That being said, fighting with everything the doctors can throw at it seems to be more your style! If that is the choice you make, you will find the strength. You have support and knowledge from your daughter and support from everyone here. A lot can happen in 2 years and you can surprise your doctors.
    Ultimately, the choice is yours, just know you are not alone.

    Kari
    Wanted you to know that I called our secretary at church, and, your name will be in our church bulletin on the prayer list Kari.

    Praying for you!

    Kari,

    I don't know what to say to add to what everyone else has already said. My prayers are with your and your family and I know that even though you are worn out you will make the right decision. You are a strong, wonderful person who is good for this forum and I appreciate all of your encouragement to everyone.

    You can be scared and confused but don't feel lost or alone - we are all with you and will be next to you on whatever path you choose.

    Some encouragement for you.....
    I may be new on here, but I feel your pain. I will keep you in my prayers. I do believe the decision will come to you. Be patient, wait on the Lord. He has always come through for me.

    "I am the Lord your God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. "

    My Beautiful Daughter,

    If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFJTD box(something for Jesus to do)box.It will e addressed in my time, not yours.

    Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it or attempt to remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problem.

    If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure it is the proper solution.

    Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber. There is no need for you to lose any sleep. Rest my child. If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away

    Love Eternally,

    The Lord Your God




    P.S.

    My aunt gave this little letter to me in the beginning of my journey. It has helped me so very much, and reminds me that it's not me, but Him. He is so mighty and powerful. He can do anything.
    I pray His will will be done in your life.

    Blessings to you,

    Fight Kari
    I say fight Kari. First of all you may beat the odds and make it much longer than 2 years. Second, seeing your daughter into her married life will be rewarding for both you and her and who knows, maybe a grandchild will be in the works soon! Nothing better than that!

    Dear Kari
    My heart goes out to you and your family. Please take your time to make decision which is right for you and your family. When your daughter comes back she will help you to choose your way, your next step, your treatment plan. Nobody knows the future , I am surprised that doctor gave you the numbers. As many members already said whatever you decide will respect and support your choice. There many on-going clinical trials and new medications, that could help.

    Sending positive thoughts, prayers, and hugs,
    New Flower

    I am hoping that you have a treatment plan by now Kari and are doing well with it. Update us to let us know how you are.
