      @@carolinacadabra8278 Thank you so much, Carolina. I really do hope that these Journey to Wellness videos will help others, as I know how important it was for me for my peace of mind when I first received the breast cancer diagnosis. I really think I am living a better life now than ever before... life is so precious and it is truly wonderful 🥰♥️🙏

    Thank you Mandy for sharing all your wellness updates! You are truly an inspiration! We wish you all the best and I know from experience, as I also healed from lupus 9 yrs ago - through diet change & positive thinking - (was originally on some very strong meds for lupus)! So I love to hear how other people have healed/improved their wellbeing doing the same!
    We (my husband and I), look forward to your next videos in the Maldives!!
    Also, hope Lee is doing better, your last report was his illness in India. All our luv… Lisa & Ron. 🇨🇦

      I arrived in the UK yesterday and it was so lovely to be reunited with Lee. He's still having issues and is waiting on the results of blood & stool tests to find out exactly what's wrong. He's down to 60kg so we need to get him sorted asap!
      We hope you and Ron enjoy our Maldives series, starting this Saturday. We had such a wonderful time there and would return in a flash! Thank you for your lovely comment and for your kindness. It was wonderful to hear from you xx🙏♥️🤗

    You're doing great! Well done showing everyone what these appointments are like. I am a six year bc survivor and also have had 3 (!) metastatic melanoma sopots removed. I had a similar diagnosis to you (dcis estrogen +++ no lymph nodes involved and clean margins) and here in Canada I was in a study to determine if tamoxifen is best based on the genetic study of the tumour. It was determined that I did not as I've been post menopausal since the age of 45 (I'm now 58). I just had my first bone density scan but what I wanted to mention was that I recently had a recall for my mammogram. Here in Canada my healthcare is excellent and I waited while the radiologist looked at the scan, she decided there was an inconclusive area 😳 and so I had a repeat mammogram which determined the area in question was a mole and I was just fine. You will be too. ❤

      @@freetowandernow Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and for sharing your experience with breast cancer! It was so interesting and helpful to hear about the Tamoxifen study. I would have been happy to have stayed on it, but there is a history of blood clots on my dad's side, and the risk of endometrial cancer as well, which is why I'm now on an aromatic inhibitor, and will talk about that in the August-September update in a few months.
      I was diagnosed with Grade 2 lobular breast cancer, and it was Stage I... thankfully, as you said, with clear margins and no lymph involvement. We know though that metastasis can occur at any time, hence the complete change in my diet; self help; exercise and things like positive thinking and forgiveness. Here's to a long and healthy life to us both xx♥️ ~ Mandy

    Hi Mandy, you’re such a positive and inspiring lady, you’ve got this!😊 One step at a time. Glad to see you have taken it upon yourself to look after your lifestyle ie diet & exercise, instead of relying on the medical profession to inspire you. They’re only trained to zone in on the medical jargon unfortunately, you’d think they should touch on that too wouldn’t you? It certainly goes hand in hand. When I go through challenges also I like to pray and read my Bible for inspiration and it has helped me so much over the years🙏🥰

    You are such an inspiration to us all with your positivity Mandy!!
    know about the bone density scans and the calcium/k/d supplements as I have to take them due to prolonged taking of prednisolone.
    Shall I say that nearly two weeks ago, I had positive news in one respect to my eyes and a negative for another part which led to me having an operation over a week ago to relieve glaucoma in the eye. All I can do is take every day as it comes, be positive and hope that eyes improve or that possible further treatment is on the horizon

      I'm going to post a photo of the calcium list on our Frugal Travellers Facebook page... it's not great quality but hopefully it'll be helpful to others.
      I arrived back in the UK on Wednesday after some very successful appointments in Perth, which I'll share in a later video.
      Lee's still suffering from Delhi Belly... has had blood tests and stool samples here and is waiting to hear back from the doctor. He's 60kg and looking very poorly 😢 We need answers asap to get him back to full health again.
      Annie had a great time in Thailand, even with the monsoon humidity! I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that I filmed quite a bit (🤣) and will work on those vlogs after our India and Pakistan videos.
      At the moment we're enjoying spending time with family in the UK, and Lee's conserving his energy, so we'll save editing until we're back in Portugal on the 10th October.
      Here's hoping you're having a great week! Wishing you all the best 😁🤗 ~ Mandy

    Hello Mandy-
    1) Thank you so much for the update. Keeping you in my prayers. ❤❤❤
    2) For my 30-minute oncologist appointments; I always have questions ready, better half joins me (I can’t keep up with everything), and our daughter chimes in via FaceTime (she’s a neuroscientist and always ask questions we didn’t think to ask). As you can see, I’m very fortunate to have this support. I find taking notes to be okay given I have two other brains that mentally record better than I ever would. 😊
    3) Whaaaat? Another hammock! Now I’m super jealous. 😂 It’s on my list and will likely make the jump as we enter Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere.
    4) Haven’t been west of Melbourne but heard and now have seen lots of positive things about Perth. Hope to visit W.Australia and Tasmania on our next trip.
    Stay healthy and always wishing you the best of health to you and Lee. 💞
