Hi Marie,

I just completed WBR and Rads to my limbar spine last week. A Physical Therapist came here on Wed. to start me on therapy. I won't be starting new treatment for another 6 weeks. My onc. feels it would do more harm then good if I start before I'm ready. Hopefully your husbands doc. will do the same.

I'm down to 1/2 dose of decadron daily for 1 week and then 1/2 dose alternate days for 2 weeks then I'm done. Thank You God. I gained 17 lbs of fluid. I am also eating everything not nailed down. My feet were 4 times normal. I'm taking lasix, but then I have to pee all the time. Plus my legs feel like they are 150lb. each.

I continue to pray for you
Love, Lu ann
