You sound like a fighter
Susan,

You sound like a fighter to me. I know it's so hard to be strong, especially when everyone is telling you how strong you are...That's why this site is so good. It allows us to be vulnerable and to cry without feeling weak. It's even okay to say that you are scared. Only a fool would say they are not afraid. But, perhaps just as important, this site allows us to share, to be supported, and to be comforted by others who truly understand. Surprisingly, I have even laughed. Who would have thought that one could laugh when faced with fighting with the challenge of cancer?

Remember, it's okay to let others be strong for you when you can't-no one is expected to be strong all the time. We are survivors-you are a survivor, too, regardless of what the statistics say.

We are all there for you Susan, as we are there for each other. We are a sisterhood of many and there is strength in numbers--anything is possible.

You are in my prayers.

I found the name of the book
I found the name of the book I mentioned. It is called "There is no Place Like Hope" by Vickie Girard. I love it because you can start from anywhere in the book and read a few pages here and there and relate. You laugh and cry. It is at Barnes and Noble for $12

Do you feel any better
Do you feel any better Suserq? I hope so!

new
Welcome Suserq to the best place in town for comfort and love!
The web can give you the questions you need to ask but only the doctors will have the answers you seek!!
I too can not open up to family because I will only scare them more. This is the place with the very best medicine you can not buy!!!!

Hugs and prayers,
K

From what I know it usually
From what I know it usually goes to the ovaries or uterus next. The uterus worries me because Uteran and Breast cancer are in my family. I am ready to go have a hysterecctomy but my doc tells me it will put me into menopause and I can't take hormones. Not sure about menopause at age 33. I look at it like it is better than cancer and inevitable anyway. Anyway enough rambling, I feel like I see a lot of breast to bone cancer since being diagnosed in December. My surgeon and bc doc is sending me to a "high risk specialist" to talk about all this stuff, maybe you could do the same and have your concerns addressed. I am not going to go until after I finish radiation. Too much else going on right now for that.
