Doesn't mean we're going to die from breast cancer, tell your friends, it just means we're high maintenance. Prior to bc I would see the Dr once a year and the receptionist after many annual visits joked I was in the special frequent flyer list lol. Now I have to be a bit more attentive and see the Dr a lot more often. Just a cold or flu can for me become quite serious and I take a couple of vitamin C tabs every day to help me gain some resistance to illness. There are all sorts of side effects we have to be attentive to but we womble on ok and none of us are ready to throw in the towel on life just yet.
