Wow, I am so grateful for each and everyone of your responses. Chuffed to bits. Thank you ALL!!
I meant to put this on the opening note but here it goes - I wish everyone who comes here to feel free to tell their story or plan - no judgments, please ONLY support. If nothing happens in terms of cancer recurrence AT LEAST we would be a little healthier in the rest of us and a little wiser in what we pass on to our families.
I have a 5 cm tumour 1 node positive and I have had the treatment package of Mastectomy,chemo,rads and AI and I would honestly like to engage freely in talks about how to manage diet, exercise, time, and stress. I work and have an 8 year old son.
Patty I am deeply sorry you had a recurrence - no one has the book on this.
I have a friend in BC, Canada who had a recurrence - bone, pleura after 16 years, she is now 54 - still with the same oncologist and currently doing very well. She is one of the gutsiest ladies I know. About to take a cruise of the British Isles. May I ask do you have a local recurrence??
Kmakm - you are spot on about exercise - the evidence is more then Dr Google. It is robust.
I will post on it over the w/end. Well done on losing weight!! Please keep posting. We met over a Plastics thread so you know I can speak my mind. The stuff on alcohol is more complex and nowhere near as solid so I will leave that for later. Plus I can't part with my glass of wine for dinner - not everyday, but I grew up surrounded by grapes.
Deanne I love your post!! Stay with us please. I am on the GC. We are down at Kingscliff for end school holidays and I just visited Tropical world - apparently pineapple is great for coughs, about to dive into that.
zoffitel - I heard of Tai Chi on YouTube - don't laugh but I am not sure I can classes time wise now and I would like to try it - any advice??
And no healthy yummy baking recipes that include abundant fruit and vegetables - no one bakes ??
Seriously....
