Tabitha so I'm so sorry. What horrible news to hear. No wonder you are anxious. I'd be more than anxious. I'm assuming your GP has referred you to an oncologist. As the oncologist would be the one really to do the staging and testing. And then confer with a chemo and radiation doc and plan a course of treatment for you. Did you find it by feeling the swollen lymph glands in neck? I's assuming you have had a mammogram and biopsies to arrive at a diagnosis of stage III. I've heard there are some good boards for those with breast cancer. If you haven't already might look for one. Since you are working you are a very strong lady. I'd try some xanax also. Please keep us posted on your journey. Phillipa
