I do remember my first couple of visits post treatment with my Oncologist, he said he's not worried about a recurrence of Breast Cancer at all, he's watching for a secondary. Hard to hear?? you bet, was I annoyed?? yep!! but that's his job?? isn't it? He also said the reality of it is this, they will NOT do constant tests because we havent advanced enough to detect BC before it is actually there. That's why they only will do a scan if you have a complaint out of the normal. They are only as good as picking up when BC is already present, which sucks! So it's evident they have a very long way to go. I just know anyone Ive ever known to have been through BC be it early or Metastatic are the most courageous people I know! Don't underestimate the power of the human spirit.
I lost a dear friend to Mets last year, it was hard on so many levels, I'm not arrogant enough to ever feel this won't be me...the truth is I don't know and neither does anyone else. I'm living a good life, and no all the great diet and exercise in the world won't change a thing if I too face this.
Just keep praying we start to advance alot more than where we are to finally kick this shit of a disease!!!
Hugs everyone! xoxoxo
