Checking things off the list

mybreastlife Angela Medley November 12, 2026

Today I rested a good bit of the day. Tuesday was a long and arduous day so I decided that I would not spend so much time out and about today. But, I did get the delivery of my "new" treadmill from Play It Again Sports. With the darker days, I have been wanting to get a treadmill for a long time so I could walk in the evenings so Josh at PIAS helped me with that. Studies show that just 10 minutes of walking after each meal can really help blood sugar levels and digestion so why not? I don't eat sugar (even though everything published says cancer is a product of excess sugar) and I exercise regularly but this will be one more thing to add to my life that will be great to have on hand on those dark, cold evenings. I also got a rebounder or as Brian calls it, a mini trampoline. Bouncing on this can help my lymphatic system and I definitely don't want any cancer to go in there. Not that a trampoline will help with this but it is a good thing to add to my exercise routine either way. 

I also did a GI test today since most of my immune system comes from my gut so I wanted to make sure everything there was ok. I should get the results back on that in a few days. 

And last but not least, I worked on getting copies of all of my medical records - mammogram, pathology report from the biopsy and breast MRI results. The doc gives you the image files on old timey CDs so we bought a DVD reader and uploaded the files into electronic formats. Brian used Claude for some of this and Claude was able to make readable pdf files out of these image files that the doctor told me I wouldn't be able to read. I guess not but Claude can! It was interesting to see the spots circled on the mammogram which made it seem more real. When I talked to the doctor the other day, I told her that I haven't see one image showing that I actually have cancer. It has only been people telling me that I do. Sometimes, it's good for doctors to show visual evidence to patients just to help them process the words a little easier. Instead I'll say thank you to Claude (and Brian!) for helping me with that. 

Claude also put together a list of doctors who do cryoablation so I have narrowed this list down to three who might work for me. I have already been in touch with Dr. Dennis Holmes in CA but I have two other doctors on the east coast to call today. I have done a ton of research on this procedure and it sounds like a great option. Hopefully I can detail it more in a subsequent post. 

Ib am still waiting on the results of my brain MRI. I called yesterday to check in and they said it could be Friday before I get the results. Ugh! 

Thank you to my friend, Cheryl, who sent me this verse early this morning. She is a true woman of faith and I am blessed to have gotten to know her so well through our Bible study of over 4 years together!
