Didn’t mean this in a bad way. I truly wasn’t offended. I agree, lifestyle can make a huge difference in our health and recovery. That’s why I work so hard to stay this way. I just wanted to clarify that I have been doing everything within my power to ensure smooth sailing. Just hasn’t worked so far.
Prior to my throat cancer diagnosis in March of 2021, I was in the best health of my life. I was on no medication of any kind. No, I am not a smoker. That’s the first question I get asked. Lol. After a copious amount of radiation and chemo I am happy to say that I have been in remission for 3 years. My main objective was to get my health back in which I have. And then, following an extremely rare radiation induced aneurysm in January of 2022 I had to start all over again. I have exceeded all of my Oncologists expectations. This TKR is surgery number 13 for me and by far the toughest. I believe I just had my expectations set too high. I was also one of the lucky ones whereas my bones were in excellent shape. Therefore, no cement required with knee replacement. 🙂
I appreciate your prayers.
Thank you 🙏

@srm I’m really sorry about your cancer. And I pray that you will get better. I really despise cancer and it’s been in my family for years. My sister had it at the age of 46 and passed from breast cancer at 52. My twin brothers had prostate cancer, my husband, too. I had squamous cell on my leg several years ago, just 2 inches from my knee replacement and Basel cell on the other leg. I was very concerned when I had pain that went down my leg from the knee replacement and thought oh no, I talked to my knee surgeon and he said that pain was natural. I even talked to my dermatologist and he said that area looked good and not to worry that it was from the knee replacement. I always laid out in the sun and now we find out years later that it causes skin cancer. I feel so bad for all cancer patients as I know it’s a tough road and I have wished for many years for a cure for cancer! Now, I will tell you that my brother died of Covid in Dec. of 2020 there was no medicine for him to take. He lived 1/1/2 weeks after being diagnosed. He was in great health and worked full time. So I truly understand what you are going through as I have been there with my precious family! I know how painful knee surgery is. I’m so sorry that you are having to go through all that you are going through now. Please know I will be praying for you every day and please update me as you can. I will be praying for your doctors as well to bring you healing. Blessings and God bless you! 🙏🙏🙏
