Dear Nita: Welcome to our wonderful forum, where you will meet the
best family on earth. Everyone is here to help and help they will......I
am a breast cancer survivor, 1995, mastectomy. I know it's hard,
when you think of your family and all; but that just may be the way to turn the
negative into a positive. By this I mean get angry and be aggressive in
healing yourself so that you will be there for that wonderful hubby and darling
little girl. You are embarking on a journey, a roller coaster journey; but
somehow out of all the bad comes the good things. I am sending you a site
to explore. I will also ask if you are taking anti depressants, many of us
do and are thankful we do. Also what did you mean by a steroid
crash? Is this seperate from the cancer. The success stories are
right here and they will come forward. There's quite a few success stories
here. Also with the many new medications and therapies and if you
compliment your traditional treatment with complimentary things will be far
better for you. This is hope and hope helps the mind, heart and body and
soul to heal. You are buying time for yourself. Now as for Doctors,
I swear, they just haven't gotton the message yet, they are not GOD! He is
the only true one that know's when He wants you. So let your Doctor know,
he's not managing your cancer, he's helping you to heal it completely. He
will get the drift. Just jump in any conversation, no one is
excluded. Your friend, lillian -
