Hi Beth,

I posted in your other thread but wanted to chim in about the statistics. Don't let them consume you, use them as leverage to show those doctors that your not a number! When I was searching for doctors, one gave me a 19% chance of a 10 year survival.

I know you must be struggling emotionally being so young and having people say "your young, your strong, you can get through it". I was 29 at diagnosis and I would ask myself would I live to see 40, will I be there to see my girls graduate school, that 10 year mark was stuck in my head from what that one doctor
said. So please try not to focus on the number, focus on beating this beast.

And we healthcare professionals are often the worst patients if you ask me, but it has it's perks too....like once they get chewed out for doing things incorrectly and they've figured out you know your stuff, they treat you like royalty!LOL
