Breast Cancer Support Group

I finally got around to joining a local support group online. It's not just for newly-diagnosed patients but also those already undergoing treatment. It was supposed to be only for an hour but lasted two hours. 

There were 10 of us, including the moderator, in various stages of treatment. One had just been diagnosed, some are already undergoing chemo, several already had surgery, one had surgery and doesn't need chemo, a couple are undergoing radiation, etc. 

A few people have tried fasting with mixed results. A useful tip was to try acupuncture if I get neuropathy. The group meets every Saturday afternoon. I'll try to join them every week. I'm sure I'll have questions for them as I undergo treatment.
