Not feeling confident about survival tonight

I think we all have those moments @jezabel - sometimes they're very much longer than just moments.  I hope they will become fewer and shorter as time passes.

Thanks Paula! I’m so grateful for your comments tonight. I want to beat this. And I agree I think I’ll feel better after surgery. Your story is very inspiring. Wishing you good health for many years to come. 

Hi @Jezabel,
It’s ok to be scared, in fact it’s natural. It is good news that the chemo helped shrink your tumour. Hopefully the surgery and radiation will take care of the rest. Once the surgery is done you should feel better. Even after 9 years (and 71/2 since my recurrence) I still have moments of worrying about survival. Each day further from diagnosis is a blessing and it does get easier, and there is every chance you can beat this. 
Hugs

Hey I get how you are down. It's never easy.....allow yourself a little down time feeling scared, an emotion that is always bubbling near the surface
9 years is fab and something that we look forward to reading about you in time 
Take care

Hi @Jezabel I have sent you a private message

Hi all,
Today I had a mammogram after completion of 6 months chemo for stage 3 TNBC. And although the tumour has shrunk by 1.5 cm it's still there and I don't know whether my nodes responded. 
I find I'm really upset today. I've been so good and positive but now I'm scared that if there is still cancer there, even though it will be taken out next Monday, that this is not good. 

Not feeling confident about survival tonight. 

It's good to read about the woman with TNBC who survived stage 3 and is 9 years clear. 

Should I be worried? I guess I still have surgery and radiation to go.
