Hello Kims in Conn!
yes, Kim I wish we were all closer and could visit easily, what fun it would be!
Take care ladies and keep us posted on what's up with you. I know we're all pulling for some really good news.
About the heart thing, just remember ladies that women often don't know they're having a heart attack and that radiation can effect the organs badly. So I'd say if you've had some strong radiation, keep an aspirin in your pocket and if you ever have a slight chest pain, chew it and then check it out. A small part of my heart muscle is permanently damaged probably because I didn't realize what was happening, (I still can't believe I had one only the scintigraphy proof) - I also didn't then have an aspirin in my pocket and of course didn't call 911 (the Samu here). Anyway the treatment was a breeze.
Cancer is our real worry and sometimes it seems we're so close to a major breakthrough and the end of cancer but still it hangs on. Still this tumor marker stuff is so exciting and so hopeful.
If it makes you feel better, we are currently having a heavy rain storm here in the "sunny" south of France!!!
hugs and love
