I am doing OK - the usual ups and downs like we all have.
I look at the site now and then and see that you are still helping lots of ladies as they join the network. I am waiting for you to rotate your photo as I get a sore neck when talking to you.
Two friends who had BC (plus one with bowel cancer) who went through the mainstream treatments passed away a few years later after harrowing experiences. I am wondering if it is worth it.
I know we are all different, our breast cancers are different and all treatments are different but when I heard of this book I thought it could be interesting. I have not read it yet but am hoping someone else has and will comment on their experience with it.
A neighbour went to the USA in the mid 80s to work on breast cancer specifically ... ? Drug companies seem to fund much of the research. The statistics can be read in all sorts of ways and we get so confused. Am I sounding a bit cynical ?
My surgeon is not supportive of me going to a masseur for work on the cording and swelling - but it is working really well so I am happy with that decision. I was tired of the pain and discomfort, he offered no alternatives and there is no physio within 75 kms.
I would love some of the medicos to accept some of the 'alternative' people and work alongside them, accepting that some things do help.
It will be interesting to hear if others have read the book.
Hope you are well - and have a happy day.
Summer :-)
