Annette:
What is happening right now needs to be dealt with right now, and then we start the steps and deal with tomorrow’s problem tomorrow. Otherwise, you just will not do it. It’s too intense, it’s just too much, and that’s true, I think, of probably any cancer treatment. So I tell women to just take a moment and let’s start sorting through what are the immediate real-time issues that we need to focus on.
The next thing that I encourage them to do is to, first of all, know that they’re not alone and to not lose hope. We are living in a remarkable time. There are so many improvements happening in medical science, in research, and I encourage women wherever they are in their journey, stay in the best condition possible for five years. All of this is going to change in about five years.
So if that means getting rid of difficult things in your life that you can shed, if there are things that are keeping you from being happy, if you need to exercise more or live a healthier life, whatever you need to do to get your body to the best possible place and to get your mind and spirit strong, it’s going to help you with this journey.
