(35,523 posts)I got to shoot up Lovenox back in 1998, before it was approved for treatment of DVT, through some fancy footwork by my doctors who managed to convince the insurance companies that it would be cheaper to pay for Lovenox than 30 days of hospitalization (what it took in 1988, the first time I had DVT). And again in 2008. (Think there's a pattern there? Two years until my next DVT Woot!)
Scrolling through your thread because I'm almost certainly about to join you. Core biopsy 2 days ago, with everyone very carefully not telling me they are sure it is cancer until the results come in (early next week). But they don't have terribly good poker faces. (not to mention that I will be the 4th generation (that we know of) - so it was just a matter of time. All post-menopausal. All relatively slow growing.
