RB: I am Atheist and would NEVER rely on prayer to anyone for any reason. I much prefer a scientific approach and would blast my cancer with all the techno cures/chemicals available. If I were given a choice by my doctors, I STILL would choose chemo, because then if it were to come back a THIRD time, I could tell myself, "Well, it's not MY fault; I did EVERYTHING possible to keep clear of cancer." I can see we have different approaches, that's for sure. Good luck w/your plan.

Hi there! Howzzit going for you? I think I owe you a letter. It has been busy here. Apologies. Stay well.

Hi RB: I disagree with you on your advice to pray and avoid chemo as it only helps a bit. Those chemicals can work! I am as proactive as I can be to avoid another cancer, as this one last year was my second. Also, breast cancer does NOT run in my family, but strangely, my sister was diagnosed with the same type as me, 9 months to the day of my second diagnosis. So it DOES happen. You might want to be a little more proactive in your treatment instead of relying on prayer to get you through cancer. Just sayin'.

I River. Good to hear from you. I am now 9 weeks post op and the recovery seems so slow even though I am doing everything I can to make the muscles work again. I was healthy before surgery so don't know why it is taking so long. I have one implant that doesn't want to drop....I just want to hang a weight on it...LOL Thank you for the prayer. I always say a prayer for everyone on this site at night. Hope you live in a cooler state then the midwest.....we are baking outside. Glad my A/C is working. Thanks for writing and take care

Welcome to the site. I think that you will find this a friendly place to come when you are having a bad day and just need to sound off or vent. We are here to listen and help if we can. We have all been there done that at some point in our lives so we kind of know what your are going through. Don't be afraid to ask questions either because no question is silly or dumb on this site.

Thank you . I really get aggravated at myself for not being able to do as much as I did in the past. It helps to know that it is the meds and not just me. If I over do one day , I pay for it the next. I can hardly move.

I see you are new to this site . Welcome. The people here are wonderful .

How do you test for alkaline levels? Do you do this yourself at home?
