Tamoxifen and herceptin injection.

Hello dear bymylone, I am not in the same situation, but wanted to reach out and send you a big hug. I think we all fear that "it's only going to get worse" and it's unbearable. I think the only way is not to look too far ahead, but take one day at a time. And in that day, try to enjoy all the little joys, moments we can still enjoy - feeling the sun on your face, eating an ice cream, watching a funny movie, what ever. If the sum of these moments outweighs the painful ones, then it's a good reason to carry on, isn't it? And you never know, the longer we carry on, the more chances there are for new medicines to become available. Take care.

Thanks for your kind words, Veronique

I wanted to add that non one can do this alone, so please do try to find some support: counseling, complimentary therapies (many charities/organizations offer these free for cancer patients), online forums like this ones, local groups, church if you go to one etc. Big hug.
