Hi, Gay, I will chime in and tell you that the diagnosis isn't one of the best to receive and it came like a 20 lbs sledge between my eyes when my husband was diagnosed 7/13/10. We have weathered a radical cystoprostatectomy and 6 months of chemo and he is living proof that even at his late stage of the disease that you can live a full life with this terrible diagnosis. As we say, to date, Jim is LIVING with his BC not DYING with his BC and he is currently cancer free until proven otherwise.
I am so glad you found us here as it is a wonderful place to come and meet with people who have been there and done all that. Survived to tell about it and offer not just great information but support which has proven to be invaluable to me and Jim.
Stay strong, come back often and be well.
Congratulations on a beautiful baby!
