[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for all the helpful and kind replies so far.  I really do appreciate it.  This has been a lot to grapple with and I have three young kids.

It does look like Dr. Magnant has retired, but I am looking at all these other recommendations.

To answer a few questions that were asked, the cancer is ER+PR+/HER2-.  They did not see any spots on my lymph nodes, but I have not had my MRI yet - that is next Wednesday.[/quote]

It is a lot to process. Especially at first. It got better for me once I had more info and a treatment plan in place. [/quote]

Also, remember that every single person and every single cancer is very different.  As different as your life and life stage.  So, in some ways - the shared experiences of cancer are shared experiences only in extremely broad strokes. The granular lived experiences are very different. It does becomes a whole lot better and manageable once you start your treatment plan.

BC is very manageable and very curable.  Remove the fear and lean into all the resources that are available to you without hesitation - health coach, therapist, support groups, exercise  etc.   Your body responds beautifully to the positives.  Remove the stress.  It will all be ok.  I cannot even imagine where cancer treatment will be in the next 4-5 years because it is evolving so very rapidly.  [/quote]
