Thanks for starting this thread, Sandy. You are always SO thoughtful.
I was thinking how fortunate I am that I only had a couple of little (!) brain mets to deal with so far this year and that I am doing pretty well, all in all.

This was running though my mind as I was perusing the shelves of the local vitamins/supplements store today. I have been having some "chest discomfort" lately and feel tightness and get short of breath. My doctor ordered a chest x-ray yesterday that did not show any fluid building up, no pneumonia or other sign of disease. On Monday I have pulmonary functions tests and then go from there.

I was looking at some natural aids and remedies for breathing functions. Found a good tea and some tablets that dissolve under my tongue. I will try these before I spend the money for an inhaler that I know I hate. As I went over the shelves I was reminded of all the posts here on the subjects of these various herbs and compounds.
I also got some Rhodiola to try, as it was highly recommended here not long ago.
Figure all of this can't hurt my situation!
I am thankful for all my family, and support from friends and all of you here.
