Barbara, Yes its a constant headache...that's what concerns me. But hopefully the stress from my Mother passing away too much *online* reading is causing it? I go to bed with a headache & wake up with one. As to my back a few yrs ago I had pain so my Neurologist ordered x-rays & it did show degenerative disc disease in my lower spine. But *nothing* in my upper back. I just don't understand why this would come on so fast?

One thing you mentioned that has been worrying me a bit is my liver enzymes have been up several times on my CMP & my onc doesn't seem to care? I just asked her again this last time why she isn't concerned with that! She said she is keeping an eye on it & if anything was really wrong my liver enzymes would really shoot up? (I would still like to know *why* they are always high?) My *ALT* & *AST* are always elevated? Not real high, but enough to get my attention.
