Thanks everyone...it's a battle trying to stay focused. I am not ashamed to say that I am petrified of the treatment and the outcome. How do you guys stay so positive? I would love to hear about the one's who have had recurrences and are living proof that survival is possible. I keep thinking about my family and what they are going through...and I feel so sad. My chest feel so heavy and has this awful feeling 24/7..I am trying to deep breathe, pray, meditate but my mind sure has it own plans and is not allowing me to have any peace.I really need to dig deep for the courageand peace that I am lacking at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.
