Halfway!
Well treatment 3 is done and dusted - now a week later. That is FEC out of the way! I have to say though that this one has knocked me a bit fatigue-wise. I was all raring to go but I am not bouncin...

Hi Amanda,
This cancer journey teaches us to be patient.We have no choice really but to get through each bit at a time,accepting the fatigue,giving in to our body's message to rest. When I first got b cancer 7 years ago I read every book on cancer,researched +++,talked to countless women in the same boat as me and you know what - breast cancer doesn't discriminate.I've met health fanatics,athletes,vegetarians etc who still got bcancer. The only common denominator I found was that all told a story of having stored up grief/stress for around 18mths or so.Constant high levels of cortisol can deplete your immune system which inturn,may not wipe out a cancer cell.This is one theory anyway.I guess genetics may play a part in some b cancers.So this time around I've decided that shit just happens.It's something we are going to have to live with and keep an eye on.Lower stress,peace of mind is most important followed by excercise and eating healthy.But you don't have to be fanatic about it.Red wine a few nights a week is actually good for you.So don't feel you are to blame in any way.I try to tell myself that there are worse diseases out there and breast cancer is one of the more treatable cancers.
