Re: I’m on hospice - anyone else?
Hello. I am the sister of @kbl. She gave me a list of people/groups she asked me to write to upon her death. Kristine died last night. Her husband and daughter were with her. She also wanted me to convey her thanks for all of your support.

Re: BCO In Memoriam thread, Part 2
It is with a very heavy heart that I am reading about Kris' passing. 😢 💔 She had texted me only Tuesday that she was getting morphine on Wednesday. Hopefully, she was not in a lot of pain at the end.
She was one of the bravest ladies I have met. Despite dealing with her own MBC challenges, she was always there for all of us, sharing and caring as long as she could.
My deepest condolences to her family and friends. At the time of her passing, her husband and daughter were with her.
May her memory be for a blessing. 👼 🍎

Re: Oncotype vs mammaprint
Your group members had more aggressive cancers. Don’t pine for conformity. We all have the “what if?”s. It is what it is and not worth obsessing over it, keeping you from living your life.

Re: Insurance denial
Given recent changes in regulation and the administration, I am hearing many more women are being denied reconstruction and revision care by all companies, but especially United Healthcare. I know my revision has been denied four times, and we now have to go to mediation (sure, that'll go well…). For the most recent "special review," my surgeon submitted 120 pages of documentation—and the appeal was denied less than 24 hours later, so clearly no one reviewed anything.
Re: Ribociclib/Kisqali with Letrozole - Any one on this combo?
I had several cycles with an extra rest week to get my neutrophils back to 1 or a 1000 or however they write it up. Been lowered to 400 and 6 years later it’s still doing the job. So don’t stress when they lower it 💪
If Kisqali wants your neutrophils down, they’re going down. The real magic is in the week off and if needed : a dose drop — not the food aisle. (This is meant to be comforting , sorry I’m no poet)
Hang in there 😎

Re: Contemplative practices - Affirmations, white light visualizations, healing meditations
You are welcome. We all have to find the path that works for us and this aligns with what I feel. I am happy to report that my Signatera test came back today and showed a negative where in March it was 1 percent. That means no detectable tumor cells in my blood. Peace be with us all!
