Hey!
Im so sorry to hear of your Journey!! Certainly has been a roller coaster! Inspite of all this you seem to be on top of all of it and doing the best you can! I like your no fuss to the point approach and I believe it will carry you through this. I too lost alot of friends along the way through this journey, but amazing how it opened up the door for people you would never expect to be there actually are! Im sorry to hear of your partner, that is awful!!! I was only 6 months into a new relationship and I didnt expect he'd stay, but he did and we've been together 2years now. I never wanted anyone to stay if it wasnt for the right reasons, loving me. So I say to you, inspite of all this, it will open the door to some great people to enter your life and support in ways you never thought they could.
I had 4 FEC 3 weeks apart then 12 Taxol weekly, I also was IDC Stage 3 aggressive but didnt lose my breast...I just had BRCA Gene results and are negative no family history apart from my Mum, so I had a recurrence and it has to go, but wont be getting rid of the other, based on those results.
