You. Hi. All this beautiful Sunday afternoon, I was taking my walk with my therapy dog, Maisie, and I wanted to share about breast cancer's impact. I've been done treatment since December 23, and I am still dealing with the impact of treatment. Surgery, radiation, all of it

I know people who had various experiences with this and ultimately the support system that grew from their experience really defined how they maneuvered through it. And I'm just really sorry that you experience people moving away from you and not towards you. And that is just a bigger systemic issue in the society about people being afraid of the cracks in life

And the support systems that I find, and I'm just finding now from since last year, I was done radiation December 23, and I'm still having major effects from the radiation. My body deals with fibromyalgia and chronic pain and fatigue. So that doesn't help anything. It just makes everything worse and longer, take longer to heal. I'm finding a lot of cancer space online where I can go and be in the group and chat with people if I'm interested in doing that

I'm getting my mammograms. And I for the longest marked myself as not high risk or based on health history that I'm aware of and have been told that I'm not high risk. Well, I had a cousin three years ago die from breast cancer. She died from breast cancer. She had it twice, beat it, and then it returned. And please forgive me if I'm not using the language correctly

Basically, 99% of cancer is not hereditary or BEEast cancers impact. So me and my mother, no joke, I'm 47. She had invasive BEEast cancers impact mean I'm sorry, breast cancer that was in sightu. Meaning, from what I understand, it wouldn't travel. If she ever got it again, God forbid, then it would not come back. It would always come back in the same place that was at 45. I'm 47 going through it

If I'm not mistaken, none of it's genetic. So it then throws out there how many toxins are out in the world, and this is why all of this is going on. And so it's nuts. And I'm definitely engaged in the conversation, and I want people to know who they are, where they come from, what medical issues are in the family, because a lot of things are hereditary. Um, and I thank you again for responding to me
