Hello Tam4given,
I appreciated your reply to my question. (Sometimes I think feeling I am getting the run around are from my years as a nurse and yes I have worked with many cancer patients and given the chemo meds.)
I just know that when a patient had a question that I could not answer for them I "GOT them their answers." Without the patients, I would not have had a job.... They were paying and I wanted to make sure they got the best I could give. So, now I feel,,, where is that person for me?
I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay POSITIVE. You are the one fighting this battle... not the ones that are taking care of you and you have the RIGHT to have what ever feelings you may experience. God Bless and stay positive.

Diagnosed 4 months ago and they still have not done anything about it? I would be looking for a new doctor if I were in your shoes. Four months is a long time to wait to treat infiltrating cancer. Please get a second opinion. Anyway, welcome to the site. I think that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need to sound off or vent from anger. We are all here to listen and help, if we can, because at some point and time in each of our lives we have been in your situation. Please don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question on this site is silly or dumb. We all have questions we would like other opinions on or answers to. There are so many nice people here that it has helped me get through my fears I had when I was DX'd with DCIS. Good luck in the future

You have come to the right place for help. I was diagnosed with stage IV BC in June and am happy to say I started treatment at MD Anderson in Orlando Fl in July and am doing well. Hopefully you have found a good treatment center and will start soon.

Welcome to the WhatNext family! The WhatNext family is made up of people like you who are looking for help or looking to help others. To help you along your journey the WhatNext family has put together a Beginner's Guide to Cancer that I highly recommend you check-out here: http://bit.ly/10BQKCi. Also, please do not hesitate to reach out to others or ask for help.

Wishing you the best.
