Radiologists and Physicists, My new best friends!

Peg, we're just about as far apart physically as we can be (probably 3,000 miles?), but I'm sending you a virtual lovie-hug... Sounds like you've got a really good prognosis, and I'm betting you'll do just fine. Here's hoping - sending you healing energy. PJ

Hi Peggy, I am really sorry to hear what you are going through! After reading your posts I am glad to hear that it is not as bad as it can be. I am really glad you found the lump when you did. I have shared with some of my friends that they should get a mammogram before 35 especially if cancer runs in their family. You will be in my thoughts. Please reach out to me if you need anything!

Love,

Amber

Dear Peg, here is a Stage 3 success hug for you. What you are going through is a path we most of us have gone through, you've got partners all over the place and plenty of hugs. In ten days will be my second anniversary of my mastectomy, and I am really happy. Living with BC is just fine. You go through the steps with a lot of patience and a lot of care of yourself. Here are some things I can share with you

1.sleep well. ask your doc if you cant. we all have fear, that is so very natural.

2.have good nourishment, your body needs it.

3.do 1/2 hr exercise everyday .I do treadmill walking every single day. you owe it to yourself.after exercising, you are a happy creature.

4.take care of your skin. if something happens to it (tearing) after radiation, baby it and it will heal nicely.don't smear stuff on it. always ask your doc.don't be shocked if

the tear looks yucky. just know that these things come and they also go with good care on your part.

5. if anything, don't panic. read, research,ask.

i am back to work part time and use the rest of the time on routine exercise,music and doing the thousand chores of a household. i make sure what i take in everyday is fresh and balanced. that makes me happy too. So Peg,

here is a fresh, crispy new hug for you.Wishing you a smooth journey through radiation!

Peace
