Trying to keep it together

Hey girls (and boys),

I'm sensing a lot of negativity around the "treatability" of TNBC: can I just say that the research literature demonstrates that it is treatable.. it's treated aggressively because it is more persistent than other variants, and once chemo & radiation are over there is no ongoing medication. I spent months reading oncology journals in the first 2 years of my journey, stressing at every new pain, stressing when the PET scans showed a "concerning" image ..but 3 years in (which is according to the literature one of  the key markers) I'm still here, I'm still clear. Please, don't succumb to the "most difficult" = "not treatable" dichotomy as it's not true. Just make sure you enjoy life, enjoy your loved ones & do what you want. It's just had bad press,  and one of the positive things we can take from that is live life fully!!! And if being a "special" person is getting you down remember that the Cancer Council have some wonderful counselling programs, including "mindfulness" meditation ( and yes I took that pathway 18 months in). What's that stupid old saying about lemons... "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade"...
