Know what you mean

When my oncology nurse said that cancers as aggressive always came back with in three years after treatment, I felt really lousy. She said that based on her experience, not any studies, but it looks like she was right.

It was a tough period to live through, though. I just tried to keep busy, since after you have done a few of the basic things (get 5 fruit and veg/day, five hours of walking a week and cutting back on the omega 6s in favour of omega 3s and 9s) you probably have done what you can do. Make sure that you do some of the things that you have always wanted to do, just in case. And keep in mind that even before herceptin about 75% of those women lived a decade following diagnosis.

Take care,

Christine
