      Well the fight is on!! Thanks to all those that post and answer so many questions for all of us. This is a crazy scary journey we are on. I am a mother of 2 little ones and reading stories of you all continuing to work and raise your babies are very inspiring and give me so much hope! I started Nivo treatments twice a month (insurance wouldn't approve the once a month) Praying for great results!!

              Keeping a positive attitude is what we do…..as warriors and as mothers! Thankfully we are living in a day when we have treatments that  can make a difference. Best wishes on this journey! Lots of great knowledgeable people on this board!!

                  Hi Missy,

                  I have two girls, almost 7 and just turned 12.  This journey is scary and crazy but you can do this.  I'm almost on the other side (at least it seems that way for now).  I'm back to work full time and have even started going back to the gym.  Try not to worry yourself sick.  Easy to say and certainly hard to do.  

                  Good wishes to you and yours.

                  Jennifer

                      This certainly teaches you to cherish every moment that you have. So glad to hear that treatment is going well and you can see the other side…..maybe a side with just a few less doctor appts and lots of clear scans!!
