2nd time around

I was diagnosed with stage I breast cancer in 2015. After 2 surgeries, radiation and breast therapy I beat breast cancer in 2016. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. In May of 2021 the cancer came back as metastatic breast cancer. The best advice I can give someone that’s just been diagnosed is to find an oncologist that you’re comfortable with. Try your best to live a stress free life. Having cancer us stressful enough. Join a support group because no one can fight this battle alone. Changing your diet is helpful also. What gives me strength is being around positive friends and family. But most of all lots of prayer and meditation.
