The heart cath showed some problems, 100% blockage in one artery, 80% in another one. Surgeon said I need bypass surgery but because of needing the masectomy soon, he and we chose to have him clean up the 80% blocked artery so the blood can get thru and I should be able to have the masectomy in a few weeks. On Plavix and other meds too. Came home from hospital very weak, sick, terrible cough from some kind of infection that was coming on and I feel so sick. On meds for that too. Hope I'm feeling better soon. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, good wishes and support. Will try to get check in again soon. Love you all.

    So very sad!!
    Great... more bad news. As if you haven't had enough lately, right? On the other hand, you really did dodge a bullet, big time. One of my advisees here, a mere kid of 29, suffered a heart attack right outside of our office area. Fortunately my colleague got him to the student health center, and he'll be fine. But he too had massive arterial blockages (and lots of heart problems in his family), and he almost didn't make it to 30. God bless you, and keep fighting. Because you're going to win!

    Sweet Sunrae
    So sorry you have another hurdle to overcome, but overcome you shall. It sounds like you are in good hands with your care and getting what you need to get better and stronger. You will come out the other side, even if it seems like the tunnel you're in keeps getting longer and longer. The light is there at the end, and you will come out shining in the end.

    Take good care of yourself while you recuperate from your procedure and your infection. You have a lot of ladies and gentlemen holding your hand through this.

    (((HUGS)))

    Glad to hear the update
    Glad to hear the update though not the news we wanted. now you have the info you need to have a safe surgery. and we want you to be safe. are they going to do bypass on the 80 percent or is it too high percentage to do a stent? Bless you in your recovery from the cath and the infection. hugs Sunrae Penny

    I am sending my prayers to you SunRae. This is a lot on your plate but thank goodness they found this before your mastectomy.
    And Jeanne, that is so bizarre about your post under Ritzy. Only you could transport yourself into someone else.

    Oh Sunrae, I am so sorry to hear of this complication on top of everything else you are doing with. Good thing they found it in time and can take care of it. I do wish you well and good recovery from this so you can have your mastectomy asap. Hang in there, one day at a time!

    The positive in all of this is that you'll have your mastectomy in just a few weeks and I'm sure that has to give you some peace of mind. We all want to do what is expected of us in fighting this disease. Yes, for sure your heart issues puts a bit of a wrench into things, but thank God, they know what they're dealing with and it didn't come as a big surprise when it was too late. Hopefully the Plavix and other meds will help you feel and get better real soon. Sunrae, this is surely one of those times that I wish with all my heart I could hug you and tell you that everything is gonna be ok. There's nothing like the power of a hug... so put your right hand over your left shoulder and your left over your right and squeeze REALLLL tight... that's from me!

    With love & prayers, Mar
