Re: 5 Years NED
Thanks Leah,
Yep, I worried - lots. I worked every angle I could find, and talk my doctors into. I never, ever want to do chemo again. That is why I'm so excited about TDM1 being approved for MBC.
I got the BRCA testings. I got TOP2A testing. I had acupuncture. I did Prescriptive exercise for Cancer Survivors and got my mets (breath measurement) above 12. I ate vegetables and avoided alcohol. I joined the GP2 vaccine trial. I joined the ENERGY study at UCSD. I studied massage therapy and am becoming a Holistic Health Practitioner. I'm trying to lose weight.
You know - if there had been a test to show that I wouldn't have had a recurrence - I'd have missed a lot of positive changes in my life.
