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.

I'm going to keep working and making my bosses rich. I'll also be helping provide for the less fortunate with my tax dollars while the union slugs take their early retirements and no longer contribute. I guess they figure they got theirs and screw everyone else.

Besides, I still love what I do, might as well get paid to do it.
