I hope it helps to tell you that it is eight years since my first diagnosis for the cancer you have. I was 67 years old then. The care, support and treatment I have had since then has been, and still is, fantastic. Chemo, radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy. Yes, you will have to bravely face some difficult times, but along with them will come new and positive insights into life, and even great pleasures and satisfaction. Hard to understand how that can be at the moment, but in my experience, that is how it has been and continues to be. I’m sure you will surprise yourself and your loved ones about how brave and cheerful you can be. I lead a normal active and happy life …I still have an infusion of Herceptin ( immunotherapy) every three weeks, which I’ve been having for over 5 years. No side effects, and always a joy to be in the company of the wonderful oncology staff. Good luck and best wishes. Your very positive mental attitude will help greatly. John
