@AllyJay Sorry it has taken me a few days to thank u for your message. Let me say that u r certainly tackling a lot more medically than me! I hope that u continue to have great medical help and advice. I have not had to have any treatment for my auto immune disorder for many years but apart from residual nerve damage in my face that will never change, I have always felt just a bit susceptible to colds, flies etc. not helped by being exposed to lots of germs in the classroom! photos can b tricky and it is always worse when I am tired!
However I know the muscles in my body were really strong before (or about the time ) I got the breast cancer because I saw an exercise physiologist for about 4 months before I went skiing in Aug 2017 and it was the first time in many years that my legs weren't screaming "u should have done more exercise!!" Lol. The sad thing is that I was told yesterday that cell changes WERE evident and were missed by whoever read my July 2017 mammogram and called it clear! Therefore my cancer started when I was the fittest I have been for over 10 yrs. GP did some,blood tests in Sept when I got a cold and again in Nov of that year but said all negative. I maintained from Sept 2017 that something was wrong because I just couldn't get my fitness back to that great level again. Got viral pneumonia in Jan this year and couldn't shake it for 3 mths until a Naturapath gave me high dose vitamins. Wonder if I can take them again? Oncologist said not to take any when I started chemo, but have postponed it indefinitely until we get test results back.
Well, sorry I just realised that I have been reflecting on the past 18mths and all I had wanted to do was to say thanks for your support and hope your weekend is peaceful and joyful. I intend mine to b as my son and his fiancé are arriving to visit me from UK for a couple of weeks.
