Tell me about the ticker! Of course my cancer meds probably caused some of the problems. But last Dec. 3,2007, while hunting, I had the classic feeling of needing to burp,pain down the inside of left arm and jaw bone pain. I actually called my Dr. from the woods. One of the reasons again though is because of my cancer meds that had me concerned. He said, no that wasn't it but come in as soon as I can or call 911. Yep, I had a blockage. On Dec. 6, I had a stent placed in my heart. I feel great right away and actually went back to hunting within 5 days. Though I didn't tell my Dr. The huge concern after a stent is bleeding at the entry point. Blow that incision and I was told I have 3 min. to get my life in order. The funny part of all this is I have NO real colestrol. Well my LDL is 29 and my HDL is 48. So, just don't assume that if you have low numbers, you heart is not in the condition you would think it is in.
