Hi Diane-
I haven't posted on here in a very long time although I do come on and read pretty regularly, but just felt I had to write to you.
I had 2 surgeries, one in December, 2004 and then another for the removal of my upper left lobe in January, 2005 (staged at IIIB), followed by 3 months of chemo. All I wanted was to feel (and look) like myself again....and I'm here to tell you that you will. It takes a little time to get back to the real "you", but I promise you that you will.
I live alone and I too have always been the one to help everyone else. I had to realize that I needed the help and I wouldn't have made it through without my two fantastic daughters and some wonderful friends. Please hang in there and know that it really will get better.
Bobbi
