    Thank you.

    They said it is too late to remove her breasts because that would not remove the cells out of her body. That is the part that scares me the most. Knowing she has to go through treatment for the rest of her life. They did say she would get a break sometimes a week to three weeks here and there.

    thanks so much.

    Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

    Thank you Tina, and thanks to everyone.

    I have no update right now. Her body does seem to adjust to the chemo better every week.

    I have opened my heart and mind to what happens if she does not make it. I honestly think she will make it and live a long time, but I think facing the worse is best for me in the long run.. hopefully I will cope better. I haven't had any anxiety for two weeks, and I do want to keep it that way.. and I think I can support her better if I do remain calm.

    Thanks again!

    Hi,

    I just called my sister and talked to her husband. He said she is not feeling good today. I called yesterday and she sounded so sad, and that is not like her.

    She is the one that keeps ME going and is uplifting. Now, I guess it is my turn. I really do not even know what to say to her.

    I avoid her sometimes because if I am having anxiety I do not want her to worry about me, when I use to run to her with any problem I had.

    I guess I am saying I have lost my shoulder to lean on. I feel I can't talk to her about my problems anymore, because she has anough of her own. I am so thankful for my husband, because I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for him to be there for me.

    Sorry just wanted to talk.
