Is this forum on life support?

She starts radiation on March 5th, five days a week for six weeks.

Mary is doing good and has a positive attitude.

I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster in the dark. You know there are twists and turns but you have no freaking clue where they are.

Fuck, man. Hope it all works out.

Sorry to hear that Jeff. Sounds like she'll be alright though. Sounds like she found it early. Tell her to keep up the good fight, finding it early means everything!!!

My dad didn't discover his till it was well into Stage 4. But he gave it a big fight but didn't make it... but his discovery was way way too late.

RIP Dad...

She's mentally prepared for it plus she works at the same hospital which she's getting the treatments at. She'll have support there and at home.

Here's hoping her treatments go well.

You plan things and work towards retirement ( still a ways off but in the works ) and then WHAM, you get blindsided.

She's my best friend, we want to grow old together.

Chris,
We are lucky it was found early, it's been diagnosed as Stage 0. We're not free and clear yet, it's still cancer and has to be treated.

She does have a positive attitudeso right there is a BIG part to getting the upper hand.

Jeff, there's hope. My mother was stage 4 breast cancer last year. She got a remission diagnosis the day before Christmas.

That is what I hope for you.
