It would take a long time for me to get the guts to actually research PROPERLY into my old illness, but I wondered if anyone knew, what can we do for ourselves to prevent relapse or new cancers, or atleast reduce our risks?

" You know.. I was just reading about this the other day, and I can NOT remember what it is I read!!! What is WITH my brain?? I thought my brain was supposed to start functioning again after a year, not get worse! *sigh* *chuckle*

DARNIT what in the heck did it say. *sigh* I shall have to search to see if I can find it again-- BLAH! "
