[QUOTE="lindijanice, post: 1716171, member: 446215"] Hey busygardener, sorry to hear of your parents' passings and all the stress you have been under....glad to hear that retirement has helped to ease some of the physical manifestations - BP and diabetes better controlled... Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer....I have had breast cancer twice with mastectomies and chemotherapy....in those days I wasn't offered any radiation, just super blasted with chemo. That was 33 and 28 years ago respectively and still going strong! Wasn't diabetic at the time.... There will be so much info thrown at you and some of it in medical-speak that I would strongly suggest that someone goes with you to all your appointments and treatments as two sets of ears are better than one! You may think that you are absorbing it all, but it is surprising how much you can miss! So glad you have supportive family and friends that will journey with you.....as you know from your parents, it is an arduous one depending on the treatment protocol... You will be in my thoughts and prayers......just warn the Hubby that if you have one, that if you are put on prednisone, you may be stripping wallpaper at 3 in the morning or something else crazy as it can make you a bit manic:) (Know from experience!!) Blessings/Stay positive as that is truly half the battle/L [/QUOTE]
