    Hi All, I feel like the bad friend that hasnt kept in touch. So Ive begun to read all messages Ive missed. I'm doing well still the yearly checks with rad and Oncon doctors.

    Thats aweful news about Linda. I know it hits a nerve in my heart everytime I hear of a loss or anyone just begin the process of dx.

    Happy New Year 2026…Sending hugs to all of you.

    Howdy! So I was just diagnosed with systolic heart failure last week, due to the red devil chemo (Adriamycin) I had during treatment. I've suddenly gone from taking no meds to a cardiac patient with 3 of them. I wonder how many of us will end up with heart issues since it is so toxic to the heart? Not happy, but at least I am still around to gripe about it, lol. Otherwise, all is good!

    I hope you all are well - wishing you a wonderful (and warmer) 2026!

    Hello GAWarrior!

    Well that is not good news! I love your attitude though for sure. I am indeed surprised though, because your are so active. Are you ok? if anyone can rock through that it is you!! :)

    I am currently helping take care of my 87 year mom who was diagnosed with Pancreas Cancer and has decided to take on this treatment. I am very worried about her ability to make it through the surgery (Whipple) it is very extensive. I will say she is rocking that chemo better then I did. Just saying. :)

    I have one more year to go on the anastrozole. I also developed Small Fiber Neuropathy. They wanted me to take gabapentin but I have chose to go with acupuncture. Seems to be working.

    I recommended to my mom to get on a chat board. She is not interested. I just remember how much peace your beautiful ladies gave me during that very hard time. So much encouragement and laughter for sure!

    I know that we all have our lives to live but I will always come back and check on how everyone is doing.

    Take care of yourself!
