Enjoy Life

My wife had to have a stent put in due to 70 % blockage in one of her arteries, The doctor said it is called the widow maker, she is okay now. He did tell her within the next 5 years she will need a valve replaced. My sister found out Friday she has breast cancer start chemo on July 16th, they feel it was caught early she should be okay. End of last year my sister in law put in her retirement papers died 3 weeks later died from cervical cancer. Enjoy every day we never know about tomorrow.

We do not know what tomorrow will hold, so we need to make the most of each day. Both my sisters have had breast cancer and they both now live every day. My eldest sister soon to be 67 did a zip wire across a lake yesterday, and my youngest sister plays polo nearly every weekend. So I am sorry about your sister, wife and sister in law, as you say, enjoy every day, blessings Jimeka 🌈

jimeka, breast cancer is one of the Ocrevus possible side effects. Someone on this blog wrote to me they don't get on Ocrevus because breast cancer runs rampant in their family.

Thank you, it’s nagging at the back of my mind, Blessings Jimeka 🌈

Is your doctor okay with putting you on Ocrevus? I know it's in the works for you, that's why I am asking.

[jimeka in reply to IFwczs]

Haven’t seen my neurologist yet. It’s been done through the ms nurse, it all depends on the MRI’s.

[IFwczs in reply to jimeka]

When are you seeing your neurologist?

[jimeka in reply to IFwczs]

I won’t see him until August after the MRI’s

[IFwczs in reply to jimeka]

Good luck! You have to figure out for yourself if you want Ocrevus given your family history. You have PPMS, and I have progressive MS as well.

u are correct we never know what tomorrow brings

[falalalala]

You're right about that.

I'm sorry you're all going through that.

Certainly a good reminder - it's all too easy to get carried along in the daily "chores" etc. We all need to consider that life is very short and we are so lucky to be here.

Sorry to hear about your your family. Hope your wife is okay. My former boss had an artery which was 88% clogged. Stopped eating sweets all the time and started exercising after the surgery. Lost a million pounds, now fits into his 40-year old clothes. May this experience bring positive life style changes for your wife.

Hi fieldplanner

You are absolutely right on living each to the fullest. I certainly try my best! I am truely Sorry for your sorrows at this time with your family. When I first lost my father at 53 from prostate cancer I lost my grandfather a month later. It was devastating on my mother her husband and father both to cancer. I also lost my mother from a massive heart attack at 68 years young my grandma a few months earlier then I got disabled and then got thyroid cancer all with in a year!

I thought what's NEXT. Then my cats started dieing lost my job lost my insurance we almost lost our house. And I was paralized. I COULDN'T you a damn thing except pray. And that's what I did intensely! I've always had my Lord. Give it up to Him. He's always been by my side. My prayers are for YOU❤becky
