Catherine, Don't beat yourself up. If we did all those things what fun would life be? I did all the right things to prevent getting cancer and it got me anyway. I remember when my mother passed away from her breast cancer and a neighbor said she didn't survive because she didn't pray enough or say the right prayer. My mother was a very kind woman full of grace and very devoted to her religion. I think sometimes shit just happens. Relax and try to enjoy life. We are all her2 pos. and not everything is going to work for us like others who are not. I refuse to beat myself up becasue I decide to have a piece of chocolate or dessert.
