Pam
Sorry you are struggling right now..your plate has been overloaded for awhile....maybe some of the feeling drained is coming off the Decadron...the PT should help you regain the strength, and I was off the Halaven for 3 treatments due to counts and my ICU stint. Got it again yesterday. The good news is it works very rapidly...the girls at San Antonio will tell you that. It has pretty much resolved all internal nodes on me, just trying to keep the neck controlled. I know it will work for you Pam...stay strong, stay focused and know that we are all here for you. It is so hard when you get down, but we will pull you up....Lots of prayers and healing thoughts coming your way Pam....better days are ahead...give yourself time to bounce back.
Much Love & strength to you
