[Jean]

the whole theory of taking good care of ourselves. Exercise, proper rest,
eliminate stress as much as possible ...etc. etc. it all has a role. But we
must also acknowledge that our own bodies are in control no matter what
we do or don't do. I have an Aunt who smokes like a chimney and drinks
like a fish....she is in perfect health and lives a active life and runs her own
home, she is 93 years old and kicking strong. So you see Angela we just
don't have the answers. It helps to take care of our bodies as that will
give us improved odds, but certainly no guarantee that we will be free
from any disease. Do not be hard on yourself as none of us here did anything
to get bc. As you already know the last few years have given us great
medicines and treatments to fight this monster.

I am sorry that you have been dx. stage IV, I will keep you in my prayers
and think positive, the mind does help to heal the body.


Hugs,
Jean
