I think this is the hardest thing of all, trying to unravel the mystery but as my Oncologist only explained a few days ago, and an expert in his field, that unfortunately it is OVERDONE in terms of what 'may' cause it and then what may prevent a recurrence. His answer simply was it's genetic...he can look at anyones diagnosis and have a good idea if they will relapse or not and nothing you do will prevent it.
He said that all studies are only minority and that is why constantly there is something new that crops up that causes it. We both agreed exercise makes us feel good and helps many things but he was adamant it wont stop if I relapse again. If anything its great for mental health too :)
He said the wrong messages are being sent unfortunately...and YES I eat incredibly healthy, I rarely have a glass of wine anymore thanks to chemo only lol, and I am very active, but I also was too prior to two diagnosis...
Lets just live and be happy right here and now ladies...however that looks for you...do it :) xx
