Short Bio

Diagnosed Jan 21 after 4 rounds of chemo for breast cancer now on hospice. Discharged from hospital Feb 25th. No previous lung history, non smoker. Was a runner and cyclist. Very active. CT scans suggestive of Covid but numerous tests negative for Covid 19. Antibody test also negative. So here I sit with no hope in sight. I made an appt at UT southwestern in Dallas and I am too debilitated for any more intervention.
Nothing can be done for breast cancer. Too much risk.
