Re: Pain in the sternum bone or heartburn???

Marcia, no wisdom nor advice -- but I just want to affirm your note that being a mom of young children TOTALLY changes the context. I hear you, and send so many good thoughts, and empathy.

One of my biggest steps, as I pondered my mortality after breast cancer -- was realizing that my nearly-grown children might endure hardship if I died of breast cancer, but that they would be okay -- ultimately. It's much harder to reach that point, when the children are still young.

Which is NOT to say that I think you have symptoms that indicate a recurrence, nor that you're going to die. I just wanted to let you know that I hear and understand your concerns, and send much love and empathy.
