Re: Johns Hopkins

I just went back to read your earlier posts - why is she so concerned about the lymph nodes being removed? I haven't missed them! ;) But seriously, she has cancer in three nodes, that's a good reason...

Re: It's My Birthday - Thank you for each one

Thanks, Jean.

I think it's funny how people say, "don't you feel old?" Yes, I do feel old (creaky, etc.) but not old enough yet! I also like to say, "It's better than the alternative."

Re: It's My Birthday - Thank you for each one

Thanks, everyone! And a belated Happy Birthday to you, Karen. People kept asking me if I felt old. People who haven't had cancer, obviously. ;)

Re: Recent Echo

I do know that this is one of those things that is often "an incidental finding" - like if you just scanned a bunch of healthy people, some of them would have some fluid around the heart. So it...

Thanks Paty & Aussie Girl for the good wishes.

Re: Rad or mastectomy ?

I'd like to point out also, that while SURVIVAL rates are the same, RECURRENCE rates are not. I had no choice about having cancerous breast removed, and went ahead and had the other removed...
