My heart goes out to you. Nothing as painful than seeing one’s child ill or suffering. You will have to put your trust in the medical care your daughter will receive and into your faith if you have that connection. I have stage 4 with bone metastasis in nearly every bone in my body. It hasn’t progressed since my diagnosis 2 1/2 years ago. I also have mets in the liver and they have ‘significantly reduced’ since being treated. All treatments are taxing and it is a new kind of living but your daughters stage 3 is not classified terminal as I understand. So it would be considered treatable instead. That’s us humans, not infallible. Our bodies go wrong sometimes but try to put your faith into all working out well for your daughter. Just concentrate one pointedly in believing that. Such a steady belief could be of great support to your daughter. She’ll see then that you are alright and she doesn’t have to worry about you. And you’ll help her believe that she will be fine

Thank you Resina for your kind and thoughtful words. You have certainly given me hope! Her surgeon told her to find her joy and concentrate on that. Her joy is her horse and barn family, so she is riding every day. We have great faith in our doctors. I had a single mastectomy ten years ago, so I immediately contacted his office. He saw her the next day and put us in contact with an excellent oncologist. He jumped on it right away, which was such a blessing. We're still in what feels like a whirlwind at this point, so much information coming our way. Thanks again!
