Thanks everyone!
It's funny - I was reflecting on how much I disliked the term "journey" in relation to cancer but I have been unable to come up with anything else that is really suitable. It just all sounded a little twee to me. But.... that's what it is. I also dislike the idea of "fighting" the cancer - I'm a non confrontational person - I don't like the idea of fighting my body, just like I don't call it my cancer. I have cancer in my body - it has come from within my body. I am choosing to think of it as the medicine is there to kill the nasty cells and my mind and body are there to get everything into shape to ensure my body becomes and stays hostile to the cancer wanting to reemerge. I know many will feel this naive but I believe it - it's been done before and can be done again. I am not turning my back on what is very good medicine but ensuring that I too contribute to it's success. There is so much research going on in Her2+ve cancer I have to believe that we can benefit from that too.
Love and light to you all!
