Hi, Angelia -
You're right, desperation drives us to run after false hope.
When I got my diagnosis, I wanted a magic remedy - but relying on false hope would have left me little room to fight the real fight - to seek and get the best treatment for my particular case and to be comfortable with the decision I made.
There will be bumps in the road - you are still close to surgery, and your recovery may not be as swift as you would like. But your best news - if it came from your doctors - is that you caught it early.
You came to the right place. People here keep it real, and no one pretends to know more than they know. I also found folks here to be the strongest and most supportive group of people on the planet.
Please don't take any herbal supplements without telling your doctors.
Good luck,
Marlene
