Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 I got bad news regarding my biopsy. It came back positive for breast cancer. I have to have surgery next Wednesday to remove the tumor. The good news is, is that it is a very slow growing tumor, so it is hopefully just in my chest area, and not systemic. Through all the questions, I said to my surgeon, can I have my Mirapex for my RLS? She told me to sneak it in. She said that this issue is always a nightmare, and that it would cause me a lot less grief to just bring it myself. Anyway, thank you for your prayers and thoughts. I'm going through a million different feelings now. I'll keep you guys informed about all that happens. I fortunately have a lot of support here in Malibu. And God. talk to you soon.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 1999 Report Share Posted May 20, 1999 Elaine, Elaine, please don't take her advice and sneak it in. Make her add it to her orders. I was told to sneak in my RLS medication when I went in to Mass. General for a triple bypass and when I woke up and the RLS started I found that they'd gone into my drawer and taken it away. They wouldn't give it to me as it wasn't on the doctor's orders! I had a massive RLS attack along with a horrendous Charley-horse before kicking someone and then passing out! This was not good for a cardiac patient to have to go through immediately after such surgery. So please make her include it in her orders!!!!!!!! Cheers and all my prayers!!
