Sweetz - You've come to the right place and I'm so glad you are here! There's a wealth of all the latest information and wonderful people who've been where you are now. Your radiologist is right you WILL be fine! You have a lot going for you. You caught this at an early stage and are already beginning the fight. Your children are a really big reason to keep going. Rather than think of all the negative "what ifs" try to keep thinking of all the reasons that things will go right! It does help if you have someone also pretty close in treatment as yours to keep up with and Tina seems to be one who is so she's a good one to partner up with! Do talk to your doctor about your feelings to see if he can prescribe something to help you feel better so that you can be a happier Mom for your children. Come here often - and let us know what is happening with you.
