Re: Gammaknife, Tykerb...reality check
You are amazing. Just think of every symptom of treatment as cancer killers. And the symptoms are just that - getting rid of the physical corruption within but still maintaining the beautiful you - spirit and soul.
As an fyi - the first Reclast infusion can also do a number on the body. Subsequent infusions will not be as major. May be what is bothering your knees as well as anything else.
You are just so - astonishlingly amazing.
Love and hugs to you
