Welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear the cancer has spread. We have a sister

group that is mainly Stage IV ladies and a lot of them are on chemo for the rest

of their lives. If you would like to join that group also, here is the link.

prayers.

Take it from one newbie to another: The heck with being strong!

As so many of these ladies will tell you, and I agree, this is time

that you need to look out for you. You are so young and a single

mother. I hope that you will find the needed support here but also

look in your area for the American Cancer Society or Victory in the

Valley, or some other group. You cannot do this by yourself. You

will absolutely go crazy.

I really don't know what I would do without this group. I know there

are other groups but this is the best by far and one of the most

caring.

Welcome and I will keep you in my prayers.

Jan K,

thank you so much i needed to here that!

but i dont know if i can because i am single and no one to lean on

for suport! if i had a husben it would be so nice! some one to lean

on for help! when i needed it but in life!!! it dont work that for

me! i am the soul provider for my family my 3 kids and 2

grandson's! it get really hard for me! i have to walk 2 miles to get

to the bus stop so i can get to work and chemo even if it is raining

or frezzing cold i know i have to get to work and i walk! i have no

choice like others! if i dont work as hard as i do we dont eat! and

we would not have a house! so i know i have do what i have to do to

take care of my family! and my saying is ! as long as god gives me

the will to work and feel good i am going to keep on going

and it really is not by choice it is a must!!!!

thank you Jan K

I really do understand where you are coming from. But please go

through your local SRS to see if there is help for you and the kiddos

through Medicaid. If you have no insurance, I think there is a

program through a federal law that provides help with expenses.

Just keep in touch with all of us here. We are here for you.

Hello " Baby Bash "

You can be anything you want here! The more you utilize the group,

the less tension your loved ones will get!Remember " The closest, gets

the mostest " . Whomever is around you can pick up all your moods...I

visit the group first thing in the mornings and before I go to bed.

I've been a little self and self centered lately and people will

understand when you are too.Had I not been so frustrated about what's

going on with me, I would've read your post first.My issues are so

minor, compared to what you must be going through.Hang in there!

Hi there

Im Sharon from the UK ,ive posted occasionally but read all posts , you

remind of myself ,I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with breast cancer dcis ,no node

involvement ,and not hormone receptive ,had wide local excision followed by

radiotherapy ,all looked well and 6 mths ago was told id be on yearly

reviews from now on ,as my mammogram was clear ,then a month later I had a

scan for another problem and it showed up breast cancer mets to almost my

entire liver , I was so devastated and scared to death to ,and couldn't for

the life of me understand how this had come about ,I felt id slipped through

the net somehow and couldn't understand how it wasn't picked up ,maybe I was

looking for someone to blame I don't know .I was looking for an

understanding of why and how I think .

But oh how I know that scared feeling .

I was told it may be to late for any treatment but thankfully my onc decided

it was worth a try , I have just had my last chemo , my tumour markers have

dropped from over a thousand to 200 as of last blood test which indicates a

good response ,and I do feel better in myself , apart from chemo side

effects ,as I just had my last chemo last Thursday , I have a body scan 10th

Jan for measurements,and to see just what a difference chemo has made , im

more positive now as I know its bought me a bit more time , which is what I

hoped for .

Ive a few battles to go but seems ive had a good response to the first one .

So first battle won id like to think .

Of course im still very scared about what the future has in store for me

but im battling on ,making the most of the good days and trying to make the

not so good ones better .

Ill keep you in my thoughts and pray you find that inner strength that helps

us all cope .

Take care and lots of love from over the pond here in UK
