Yes I am aware of so many variables that it is so hard to take much notice. But it does give me some comfort to know I passed an 'average' marker. 2 different oncologists told me this prog. My cancer was so aggress at start the oncologist didnt really think I would do well. I think the other stats you quoted are median survival for advanced breast cancer in general. That would correlate with 5 year mark being 40 percent alive. I am hoping to have many years left.
I get annoyed with chronic disease term. You cannot put breast cancer up with diabetes or high blood pressure etc. I met a lady last week where the num in oncology told her basically to get over it, it is only a chronic disease.
To have a chronic disease doesnt mean you have a shortened life span.
I would like to think I havent got a shortened lifespan and am aiming for cure/miracle but reality is there too.
I alway am challenged to achieve the diet/juicing. The reason I want to go to gawler foundation is get a better feel and perhaps simplify things a little. I also feel the next few months is critical for me. I am desiring to reach more than 6 months post chemo before the liver tumors start regrowing. I want to have this time also away from temptations of food my family frequently endulge in.
I have a lady come a couple of hours per week to help me in the kitchen. My family on the whole wont eat my food. I also have a cleaner.
My naturopath feels goats cheese is ok but is looking into it. I think I have tried the choc you mentioned. I will have to give it another go. I am going to explore tofu dessert with carco.
