I wonder how is it to die from breast cancer and how long it will take from the stage II to IV terminal, I would rather let my husband to keep his savings to continue raising our child when I die and to pay hospice because I do not want to die in so much pain.

    A gentle hug to you! I can't answer your question on going from stage II to terminal because I just don't know if it will happen or not. Cancer does not let us know if it's coming back or not. We just have to be positive and make the most of each day. Try to pick yourself up and search for doctors, because I believe that a doctor is out there who will help, or connect you to someone who can help. Sending you positive vibes and glad that you have came into this forum. Ask questions, because many will try to help and answer your concerns. Stay positive. Sending you positive vibrations....

    Thank you all, and sorry for my awful post, I think this time I will have to do the right thing and going back to my country, will leave my husbandand son in here, but hopefully I can comeback lawfully and complete my college degree, as this is why I came to this wonderful country in first place. I came here as a student at UC Hayward, CA but after the birth of my son went in to a bad postpartum depression and my student visa expired, but I hope that this treatment buys me at least 5 years more to fulfill my goals, before the cancer returns.

    I don't see that being illegal keeps you from getting treatment in N. Texas at all. When I was going through ovarian cancer treatment at Parkland more patients than not were illegal. Have you been to John Peter Smith?
