Not quite sure *UPDATE* sort of
what to think ... SOOOOOOOO I've been in limbo since I posted last. Here's the scoop ... I went to an endocrinologist because my primary care doc didn't seem too concerned about my A1C climbing from 6.2 to 7.2 in 6 months. I figure there should be SOME concern, right? While at the endo's he noticed I had some difficulty…

5yr question??
Sometimes I feel so ignorant. Someone asked me to explain what is meant when after many treatments it the term 5yr survivor is used. Obviosly it speaks for itself, but what happens after that. Does it mean that (said drug) has a certain survival percentage of people who live 5yrs and than usually die shortly after or do…

Decisions
I always found tough decisions take me forever to analyze. I got my results of my tumor and it was rated moderate. They said that radiation and hormone treatment was not an option but chemo was because I would be only gaining a small advantage. Right now I have a 15% chance of reoccurrence; if I do chemo then I would have…
