Welcome! You will find great support here from people who are walking your walk. You can say as much or as little as you like. If it’s a bad day for you emotionally you can vent here. Doesn’t have to be clinical problems. Hope you continue to do well and look fabulous!.

Good for you to seek out others that truly know what you are going through. I find comfort knowing I am not alone. Ibrance and Letrozole work wonders! I am on my 16th cycle. No new cancer and some have cleared. I pray you will have the same success. Hang in there!

Thanks for the welcome 😀

Welcome to the group you will be able to get a lot of info from people who have been dealing with cancer for years. It at least helps you realize you are not going to die tomorrow. That was the fear I had,not knowing how long I had. No doctor will tell you. MyOrthopedic oncologist told me he kept his mother going for ten years . That at least gave me some hope that I had some time. You can ask anything you want on group. Good luck.
