TOmmy, you sound just like me. I have just finished my active treatment - the usual 16 rounds of chemo, 25 of rads, one month into tamoxifen.

I don’t want to hear words that will flatten me; I just have to face today. I know the statistics, and I know the percentages, but of course no one can say where I will fit and I prefer to not ask what my team thinks.
I got halfway through my taxol and became very afraid of even finishing because I felt safe somehow when I was on chemo. Now, I just have to get on with living and hope for the best.
I understand - hang in there xx
