    Welcome to the club no one wants to belong to! LOVED your post - so descriptive. I could feel myself back in those "just diagnosed" days. You're at the very beginning of a journey that could very well change your life - for the better. Cancer can do that. You'll learn that you're very strong; you'll experience the incredible skill of the medical community; and you'll find how very much people care about you and love you. Cancer is a tough price to pay for all this; but cancer disappears, and you're left with everything else - all the good stuff.

     

    Hope you soldier through the MRI all right. My advice? Close your eyes and envision something really nice. The tranquilizer will help you drift.

    Hi, I liked your answer. I two am on the same journey. I have been fighting since 1998. I have had two lumpectomys, & 2007 had bilateral mastectomy. Now a yr. later find that i have it again & it is metastaic breast cancer that has spread to the L1 area. I had radiation & thrn was put on Femara for life. cannot take this med. Bad se. Go to Dr. wed. & regroup. Do not know where we will go from here. I am taking a bone building Iv every month. The meds destroys bones.As you have stated ,you find a strength that you would never realize you have. I have my Faith in God. This is above (all).After all He created me. Know one knows this body better than He does. My family. They are Wonderful. My husband. My all in all things. Could not have chosen a better one. I have my days, but all in all I know that this two is in my Precious lords hands as is (all) things. I pray that you & all of us have a long full life. Live for Today. know that this to shall pass. take care everyone.
