Add to the thankyou. Excellent reading. I am amazed that is after the treatment has finished that so much rot sets in.... and the bit about docs not recognising stress as a factor for so many illnesses is spot on.
I remember my first oncology visit - it was solely about what chemo can cause, and very little about the cancer itself. I know I could of asked questions but who thinks about that as you are hit with maybes. The leukemia absolutely floored me!!! I remembering asking what they would do if I got leukemia and was told we have drugs to control that. Oh boy oh boy.
Now post treatment its all "oh no chemo doesn't cause that, oh no chemo doesn't cause that, oh no radio doesn't cause this. Makes you wonder if the extensive list of possibles is not complete!!!
I was totally confident during treatment, I had my diet, exercise and stuck to them religiously. Fell into a hole last xmas when I received some bad news about one of my children, a lot better but still clawing my way out. I shall have to save your letter to sharpen my claws and get out faster.
