Marcia,

Good luck with your check-up. Prior to my last routine follow-up I was having significant pain in my right shoulder and all the way down my arm. It was actually waking me up at night. I told my onc about it at my appointment and she scheduled me for a bone scan - it came up clean. About that same time I stopped carrying my 50lb purse (well, close to that heavy) on that shoulder and now I am pain free. I'm now waiting for the left shoulder to hurt but won't panic this time.

PinkGirl: Please be sure and start a new thread on how to lose 40 pounds in five days - I'd love to see how to do that!

Ribs? Aren't those usually covered with BBQ sauce? Hmm...

Best of luck to everyone with upcoming appointments!
