Lucy, my prayers, thoughts and support goes out to you.  If you ever need to talk, please feel free to contact me.  A sense of humor & positive attitude is more than half the battle.  I am 3yrs post a double mastectomy.  Stage IV inflamatory metatastic breast cancer.  I found the lump myself.  I am on lifetime chemotherapy.  Yes, one does get tired, but there are so many wonderful people to help along the way.  Ask your physician & oncologist about mixing your treatments with wholistic medicine.  My personal physician practices both, general & wholistic and together w/my oncologist, I have avoided some major side affects.  Keep your faith, and remember this:  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Even if is a down day, stop and count all the good things that have happened that day.  Example:  I woke up!  I spoke to my family!  I looked outside and saw a butterfly!  I can smell the rain!  I can still read a good book!  I'm one more day post biopsy or one more day post treatment!  I can appreciate a good joke!  I pulled a prank on my nurses and/or physicians today!

 

HUGS!!!
