Thank you Vic! This is the kind of info I need right now. I don't know what to expect. I have appointments with my Cardiologist over the phone because of Covid. Now this surgeon wants to see me in person first for 15 minutes. It takes 3 hours to travel to Loma Linda and back total to do in-person appointments? Geesh and then I guess I will need to get more testing and Xrays. I also have CAD and am on Plavix, so I'll probably bleed for a week. My blood pressure has been Stage 3 and 4 since my husband died. I'm a mess. I want to get the Foundation set up before I join my husband. Everything is happening at once. How fast does Cancer take over before it takes a life? Sounds like I'm panicked, doesn't it. I am.

Thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it.

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, glad to share my experience with you. It is easy to give advice and older people like to do it.... but given new challenges, I find the trick is to try to focus on what needs to get done first....I make myself long lists in a spreadsheet. It makes me feel more in control.
How long have you been on Plavix?
