My best friend, partner,soul mate my everything, was just told she had two years to live.  We fought breast cancer in 2005. The cancer has reoccurred and metastisized to her spine (L5) and her Ilium (pelvic bone). We have two children and so much left to do.  Help me/us  fight like hell cause I don"t know what to do! I need to help her see that there maybe hope. Is there hope? sweetfeetyorkies Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT There is always hope !! Don't let anyone take that away. Make sure your partner has a Dr. that gives hope and doesn't try to take it away. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I will add you to my prayer list. Take care,                                      Pat Patty5 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT Thank You Pat! Considering a second opinion. It's just that we had the same Oncologist in 2005 and adored him. We he gave the diagnosis we felt like he was just being straight forward. Now I'm pissed that he took away almost all hope. It's good to hear that I'm not just grasping at straws, or unable to accept reality. sweetfeetyorkies Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 10/7/2007 sweetfeetyorkies wrote:My whole world is spinning.

I need to help her see that there maybe hope. Is there hope?How can any Dr. give you a time frame?  Oncologists use statistics because that's what they have to go by.  Besides, who knows what they're going to come out with in two years.  I have a friend with stage IV breast cancer that's metasticized to many areas of her body.  She also has two kids and was preparing for her death.  Well as it turns out, she responded well to Herceptin, which wasn't even available when she was first diagnosed.  It's been a long haul but she's still here.  Take one day at a time, that's all you can do.  Hang in there.  Strength and courage to all of you.  Blessings.
