I agree. It seems one can't ever escape it - cancer. It is the disease of the 21st century. I guess though with attention comes funding and research. I am reminded every day even if I don't look in the mirror or think about my missing boob because I copped awful side effects of my treatment which was described as "hitting me hard with chemo and radiation". Still knocking me around after 2 years. I know my signicant lymphoedema is here to stay and the nerve damage but is anyone out there who has had a very strong regime of treatment who feels better. Every day I wake up feeling like I have been in a rugby union scrum with whole body aches and pain very hard to describe. I am on pain relief but I don't want to go higher - not sure. I kinda just want to know if it will ever end n when I ask doctors at regular visits they don't know or strugg shoulders n look at me sympathetically. I couldn't do a fundraiser run let alone even walk the kms often publicised but I see heaps of others doing this n I guess I get a bit depressed. Is there hope?
