Re: Digoxin may be linked to a higher incidence of breast cancer
Lani,
As always thank you for posting current updates for us.
On another thread we were discussing the risks of chemo treatment and other cancers after having treatment.
This thread demonstrates very clearly that the effects of any drug can create a host of other issues. One has to weigh the odds against the benefits.
I remember how frightening it was to be dx in those early days.
Then to make difficult choices only to discover that additional issue and medical problems can develope later on. Is there no end? I then decided that I would not permit all the concerns and side effect to control my days filled with dread and fear. So for those who are still in treatment and those sisters who have had treatment - for those brave stage IV sisters who enroll in vaccine trials and other trials ....may our glasses always remain half FULL, full with good health and life.
jean
