Focal thin walled lymphovascular invasion
Hi everyone New here....been lurking on the sidelines for a few weeks having been diagnosed in October with early stage breast cancer (Luminal A). There is an aspect of my post lumpectomy pathology...
I get you wanting to feel you have some control back but the reality with this disease is we don't have much control at all. We have choices. We can follow advice but that's about it.
We can't control side effects...but take medication or do exercises to help. We don't have control if we will be unwell on chemo or not...that's another lotto. Worrying about what might happen constantly can just suck all the joy out of life. I decided to just deal with issues as they arose...if they arose.
It's probably the hardest thing to accept.
Having knowledge is good...but don't get caught in the trap of too much detail...like the saying "you can't see the woods for the trees" the bigger picture is what we need. Kath x
