Hello all,

Thanks for all the informative information you shared. What bothers me about these posts is the thinking that we can somehow control what has happened to us or what could happen to us again in the way of reoccurence. There is enough "guilt" associated with a cancer diagnosis ~ like.............."what could I have done different"...........or "what did I do wrong"................or "I tried to do everything right." Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. It happened. For whatever reason it happened. We definitely should do all we can to keep our bodies healthy. No doubt!!!!!!!!!! Diet and exercise are extremely important, however, I don't feel we have that kind of control. I just don't. If we did then why do those you'd think would get cancer, don't and those you'd think wouldn't, do.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

Mary Jo
