Introducing myself

Hello

I have recently had a right mastectomy to remove a large and a smaller tumour and am about to start follow-up radiotherapy and hormone treatment. I want to avoid preventative chemo if possible. I would love to make contact with others travelling this route, to learn from their insights and experience.

I feel uneasy with the amount of drugs currently entering my body and find myself attracted to holistic lifestyle approaches based on mind, diet and exercise.

I am also interested in learning about travel post cancer; I want to go to Eire soon, then to Italy and Switzerland, and much later Caribbean and Philippines. I'd be so grateful for insight/tips on this.
