Time for a new treatment
Hi everyone
Some of you know I was expecting results yesterday. Unfortunately they were not good. I guess we knew it would eventually happen but you always have that little glimmer of maybe it's all ...

Amanda and Joy,I couldn't agree more with what you have both said. Anyone with secondary breast cancer shouldn't be expected to be an advocate. Just day to day living with family and coping with ongoing treatments is enough. I think alot of women who get through treatments for early breast cancer just want to move on and forget about it,go back to la la land. What we all need to realize is that any one of us could wake up tomorrow with secondaries.We shouldn't be abandoning our sisters with secondaries but taking up" the cause" in whichever way we can.I think we need to question where all the pink money is going.The Mcgrath funds are going specifically to train breast care nurses and BCNA provides this website and other direct support to women with breast cancer - this we know- but what about ALL the other funds raised? where's it all going?
Seems to be more and more young women being diagnosed with bc. They should be enjoying life and children.I don't want this to happen to my daughters. I for one,am staying on this BCNA site to help others but also to maintain a united front.Power in numbers and by networking/sharing info we'll build up a formidable group. Ok,I'll get off the soapbox now!
