I think I've got your name right from your previous post which I read earlier today. You had many lovely pink sisters reply to you so I thought I'd wait and welcome you later. So welcome :).
Yes I was blown away by the support, love and friendship from complete strangers. But no longer strangers because we have a common enemy and we all understand exactly how each of us is feeling. It's great to be able to come on here and just chat, rant and rave if you want, ask questions or just tell your story. There's no judgement just understanding.
Judy I know you were worried about going through chemo and whether it would make a difference to you chances of recurrence. I think we can all relate to that. When I was strongly advised to have chemo, it scared the crap out of me. But as I think some of our ladies said, I just couldn't 'not' do it and then kick myself if I did get a recurrence. Whatever you decide is the right choice for you though so trust yourself.
Good luck on this roller coaster of a journey and if you decide to go ahead with chemo, there are some great blogs on the 'getting started' group. Good advice on preparation and during.
Lots and love
