Re: WBRT ???? info input ??
Thank you Yanyan for your support and KSgal for your insight. I am glad you have beaten the tumors and are able to deal with the side effects.
I saw my rad onc on Tue with my husband and we decided since I had 2 areas at this time we would cyberknife the areas and keep a close eye on things with MRIs every 3 months. It would be nice to have a decreased chance of recurrance but at this time fits better with my life. I had a routine physical/Pap and I cannot believe it but they found adenocarcinoma cells in the Pap! I think my husband believes it to be more breast CA and I don't have the heart yet to tell him it may be endometrial, at least until I get a biopsy from the gyn/onc. I am hoping it is some sort of fluke. I just can't believe what God is throwing at me lately. I feel like I'm sitting in one of those dunk tanks and he keeps throwing balls, hitting the mark and I keep getting dunked over and over. I still feel strong and have not quit in any way but my shoulders are starting to feel weak and it is getting harder to hold them up under all that is happening.
Thanks for letting me vent.
It is helpful to read the good news people write in about so keep it up everybody.
Hugs, Cathy
