Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I think it is wonderful that you have friends so ready and willing to stand by you...sometimes the hardest part is that no one seems to have true understand of what you are going through. However, in this group you have an excellent assortment of " wondermous " women : ) who totally, absolutely and completely understand (boy, do we - so vent away girl!! ) I started my chemo in August and can't say it's the most fun I've ever had, but a lot of the time it's the most thorough course of action and gives you the highest chance of staying cancer-free. - Jen : ) Age 40, taking Chemo Stage 1c, Grade 3, ER- HER2+ Lumpectomy, SLNB, Mastectomy Diagnosed: 7/2006 (1st Mammo) On Mon, 06 Nov 2006 21:41:35 -0000 " Ellen " writes: > Oh Sue, We've all been where you are right now - it's scary - and I > can relate to what " others " say - meaning well, saying what they > think will make you feel better.
