Hey
Tracy - It's great to make contact with someone whoo has had the same diagnosis and normally I wouldn't contact a complete stranger ...but we aren't really because -- you have the same tumour as me.
The research I have been given is that we have a very rare tumour and not much is known about it. However, the positives are all there with recovery and survival rates.
My surgeon is a very positive, caring man and I am armed with that and the support of my family and friends to get me through my treatment. I have decided to remove the necessary tissue rather than have a masectomy and I am really looking after myself with nutrition, sunshine, fresh air, meditiation and rest.
That doesn't mean I am sitting around I am still doing what we have to do as Mums and work ...and... and.... all the stuff we have to do. I find long walks to be my medititational- head- clearing- time to myself.
I have no experience with breast cancer other than knowing unrelated people who are survivors.
Someone once said to me:" There is only 2 rules in life: One is never quit. The second is don't forget rule number one." : )
