YAY! Really, glad to hear it, Patti. Wonderful news.
That's terrific news, Patti! Thanks for letting us know.
Cheers,
Jeff
THanks, Jeff and Rick. Of course I still have three weeks of radiation and a pill forever to do.
Excellent! That's great to hear. The rest will be a lot easier to deal with, I'm sure.
Further congratulations!
Hope the radiation passes quickly and uneventfully...and we do seem to be a pilled population, when we can afford them, no? My daily diet stands at about ten, mostly diabetes meds.
That news has made my day! I'm so glad for you, Patti!
Thanks so much. Have a great weekend!
I know many people with diabetes now. Has it become more common?
Probably, with more adipose tissue and more sedentary living...also, fewer people dying from it due to the drugs and such. More older folks also means higher rates. Both sides of my family have it, along with a tendency toward sweet-teeth...and a tendency toward late-life dementia...possibly not at all divorced from each other. Neither of my parents were diabetic (my father even had a few hypoglycemic blackouts when overworking in his retirement jobs), but a slew of my maternal aunts and my paternal grandmother were.
No one in my family had breast cancer and of the 84 genes they sampled, none were know cancer-causing. So other things like our dirty environment probably came into it.
That's such good news Patti! Hooray! The three weeks will be over before you know it ... and daily pills are worth it, if they keep the Big C away. Sure will make for an extra special Thanksgiving this year!
I am very glad to hear that, Patti, now you can relax a bit.
Such good news, Patti! Thanks for sharing, and I'm very happy for you!
Thanks all for being so supportive.
Glad it went well Patti.
Thanks for letting us know, and the generally good news! That last hasn't been too abundant of late.
Yes, even affluent areas of Detroit and environs, or for that matter Philadelphia, perhaps even more back when, were probably good opportunities to pick up something from air, water, food, building materials particularly as they decayed, etc.
This is excellent news.
For what it is worth, Sandi tolerated the radiation over the years very well and when she was on a chemo pill did very well. Granted the cancers were of a different type than hers. But, on the positive side, the chemo pill that was used on her, and different ones used on other folks, seemed to be a wonderful thing.
Yay!
