Gina's had her 2nd dose of Cabergoline on Tuesday,
third dose will be tonight. So far so good, nothing major, little more tired and the usual

to see how she was feeling, wonderful doctor. Gina
originally had another appt on Oct 22 with the endo but since I didn't start the medication until
last week she's moved the appt to beginning of November, she stated that she spoke with Gina's
cardiologist and that's how she knew that Gina
didn't actually start the cabergoline until a week and a half after our visit to her, it's really nice knowing that all her doctor's are
communicating, I hear alot of horrow stories and
it's upsetting to hear that other people's doctors
don't really seem to care. Will keep all updated
