In reply to the discussion: I have breast cancer [View all]1WorldHope
(964 posts)I've been there myself. I remember how angry and scared that I felt. My family doctor told me that someday I would look back and this will have just been a bump on the road. I remember being really angry when she said that to me. Now looking back 6 years, she was right. But, I was also lucky, so far. Take good care of yourself as you go through the treatment that you choose. I was unlucky while recovering from radiation I got bit by a mosquito who gave me west Nile virus. That was worse than the whole year of cancer treatment. Also my husband has had 3 different cancers, bladder, prostate and lung. He is still kicking with COPD. My point is that cancer isn't always immediately deadly these days. I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope you find doctors that you love!
