The best thing you can do now is exercise eat a well rounded diet and doing the things that make you the happiest. I threw myself into my work, gardened, rode my horse. Never underestimate the old fashioned bubble bath I would add a glass of wine and some music. God Bless your journey

Lauralee,

We all know the fear and terror you are experiencing right now. You have no idea what your future will be. This is pretty much your lowest, most dreadful, dark corner you will find yourself. As time goes along, you will gain more information, about this disease and how you are going to be treated. I can assure you, even with this seemingly dire diagnosis, you will see light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel. You will come back out into the sunshine. Since you had the misfortune to receive this diagnosis, I am sincerely happy you found this group to help you through your treatment. We are all here to support each other. We all understand and are either in active treatment or have been through it. I can already give you some good news.... you have the most common form of breast cancer. You still have some other pieces of your diagnosis to be discovered.... grade, stage, etc. You have found a good, safe, place with us. Right now, you need to be extremely kind to yourself because it's a journey you are about to embark on. You will have a bunch of tests. You will have some or all of the following tests, MRI, CT Scan or PET Scan, Bone Scan, MUGA, and lots of bloodwork. None of these are painful more than a poke with a needle, so please don't stress about them beforehand. Approach this all with a warrior spirit, faith, and a whole lot of humor. I had Invasive ductal carcinoma and was treated 5 years ago. Even though many of us have had a similar diagnosis, each of our cancers are uniquely different. Thankfully, your doctors can tailor your treatment for your particular cancer. We may have had similar teatments but they are different. We will share our experience but it many not be exactly how you are going to react to the seemingly same treatment. Hang in there and take care, Sharon

I am going to University of California San Francisco to add Dr. Rugo to my breast cancer team. I am stage 4 and have tried 4 types of chemo with little to no success. Does anyone see Dr. Rugo or know anything about UCSF? I am in Idaho.
