Re: Diagnosed with 2nd Primary

Hi Paula, I am so sorry you have to go through all those therapy steps again. And I am totally with you: We need to do more than just remove the symptoms, we need to do something against the cause. And it's not "stay slim, exercise, eat sensible, sleep enough". That will just help you through therapy, but obviously it never stopped cancer from trying to kill us. But to me it looks like nobody cares. Nobody even asked how I lived, where I lived, what I thought might have happened.
