give those lemons a squeeze! it's time again to go to lemonland to protect yourself from breast cancer. spread the word. it's time to squeeeeeze!
i went to a cardiologist last week for the results of an ekg, ecg + chest xray to see "where my hearts at" + what the cardiologist recommends regarding continuing 9 months of herceptin that previously damaged my heart. he said the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over again + expecting a different result. he also said my heart was into the normal range + their aren't any drugs to protect my heart from the damage, but i should resume the chemo because of it's cancer recurrence prevention benefits + he'll treat the heart failure symptoms as they reappear with ace inhibitors. now i have to have a follow up appointment with my chemotherapist, but i'm not in a hurry. i haven't seen her since november, when i refused to have my infusion + wrote about it here. basically, it's up to me whether to resume infusions that have a 50% chance of preventing a life threatening cancer recurrence + a 100% chance of damaging my heart. the moral is: detect + treat life threatening illnesses as early as possible :)

Hi, your blog is fantastic, I can't think of any other word, ok, it's wonderful. Very enjoyable!

I have not walked in your shoes, and I don't know if this is a good thing to do on my part, but I feel it just might be. I have been totally awe struck by this blog that I have been reading since I found it in December. It's called I think, spinningtumor.blogspot.com. Please check it out. It is some of the most amazing writing that I have encountered. You are very brave and I wish you all good things.
