One more treatment. We've almost reached the summit. Thank you for accompanying me on an ascent that no one chooses to take. I wish I were courageous enough to look at the view of the top. Does it look pretty? Is the sun shining up there? Will there be a refuge where we feel safe and can breathe easy?
I am in need of a guide. Someone who can help me find sanctuary when this journey ends. I will get the help I need. For today though I will sleep.
About Me
- Laurie
- This blog begins a couple months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Its best read from those early days to today. Click on the February link above to start from the beginning. My hope is to help others who are diagnosed. I understand your fear and trepidation of treatment and coming to grips with a dramatically changed future. Maybe reading another's story of moving through fear and despair toward acceptance and peace will help you by seeing that you are not alone with your battle. Email me at lpacemissoula@hotmail.com or post here if I can answer any questions or if you need support. I would be honored to help you. Diagnosed 11/8/2007, IDC, 1.9cm, Stage I, Grade 3, oncotype score of 37, 0/2 nodes with ITC's in 1 node, ER+/PR+, HER2-, bilateral mast & oophorectomy because BRCA2+, in the middle of 6 rounds of taxotere/cytoxan, then will have 5 years of Femara

I'd say you've been plenty courageous, Laurie
Thank you for sending me the link to your blog, which I was quite absorbed with over the weekend. I'm really touched by your candor and spirit and very happy to see the support you've gotten from your wonderful family. And I love John -- who I haven't even met yet -- for being so terrific. I'm so glad you have him.
Love, Leslie
