False Start

 It's funny (to me) that it has been so long since the first post.  I remember wanting to get that first post "out in to the Universe" because I had some appointments coming up that I thought might bring me the answers that I had been looking for.

The investigation in to my breathing issue was how the cancer discovery was made; and once the CT brought the seriousness of it all in to focus, the breathing issue (appropriately) got put on the back burner.  As I come up on eight years post cancer surgery, my breathing issue has been a primary focus. In reality, it has always had a primary place in my life story because of how it has impacted
