Hi! How are you doing? How is your ankle?

Hi lady, saw your answer to the five year question and had to send you some supporting vibes. Broke my ankle back in Dec. and was in a cast, boot, ankle brace and then physical therapy. I thought the same as you, could have been worse, especially at our age. We don't need a broken hip or leg. Saw you also like to ride horses. I use to own a horse years and years ago. You can not ride right now, but just grooming and talking to your horse is such a peaceful time. Hoping your ankle heals quickly and well and you are back up in the saddle as soon as possible. Take care.

Hi, Jesse0218. How are you doing these days? You posted a "celebration" experience about a year ago and someone responded today and since I had already responded I was notified. I re-read what you had written. Your post lifts me up! I hope you continue to do well and are healthy and happy. : )

jesse0218, neulasta is used to keep you white blood cells from dropping while on chemo so that you can keep your chemo on schedule and so that you are less prone to infection. Some doctors give neupogen I believe is the other drug that does the same thing and some doctors don't do anything. It sometimes also depends on the treatment you are having, you don't always have to have the injection. I have been on active treatment four of the past five years and only had to have it with the initial treatment of carboplatin/taxol

Jesse our story is so close! I retired in july, went on extended vacation, Sept got news about mammo, Oct confirmed, nov surgery, since then trying to rebuild my retirement. I too am into Horses and Photography! As well as all animal rescue. I was afraid of going into public and wondered about immune stuff. I am on Arimidex with no side effects. Haven't had the time to go thru all your stuff, but I will! you are an inspiration!

Love your avatar. Pretty chestnut horse.
