The cancer drug I'm on causes blood clots in the legs which I now have. I talked to the doc about stopping the cancer drug because the blood clots can be deadly. He told me the cancer can be deadly too.

I can't wait to retire and if it weren't for the fact that I'm not old enough for Medicare ....I would retire today.

Barbara they had Florence on Lovenox (inject-able blood thinner) to avoid blood clots - bloody expensive though.

Me doc says I am a survivor, Mum and older sister both made 90, maternal grandparents made it into their 90s, so I am probably stuck here for another five years but I would rather be with Florence.
