Marisol

Hi Marisol,

Thanks for responding to my post I am trying to have patience but honestly its not my best virtue lol. I have and appt with both my endo and my ocn. just after the new year so I am hoping to find out why I am so exhausted. In the meantime my pup needs me and I need him as well I walk him every day 3x's a day for and hour at a time min. sometimes longer if the weather permits. This 2nd battle with cancer is so much harder on me than it was 13 yrs ago. Yeah I know I am now 13 yrs older but this cancer was different, this time it was an aggressive triple negative form but thank the LORD MY GOD it was contained and hadn't spread to any nodes on me. I chose to not have chemo because it wasn't worth the risk to my heart that it posed. When I was 11 yrs old back 40 yrs ago I had open heart surgery, the very thought of doing anything that might cause damage to my heart just isn't something I was willing to risk. My onc. told me that with chemo my risk of reoccurrance was like 30% without chemo it would be like 35% so like I said the risk of damage to my heart wasn't worth it. My furbaby takes very good care of me and I take good care of him. I know I will eventually get over this but its just so tiring. I wish you and your family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR.

I love Barcelona I hope to go back one day. My grandfather on mother's side came from beautiful Sitges and settle in Cuba when he was very young. Hope you are doing well and it sounds like your health system is a problem. Here we are heading into the unknown with Obamacare. God help us all.

My doctor also told me that I had to leave the power port in for a year, just in case. What a pain! I just want to be done with all this nonsense.
