Re: Cancer in Spinal Fluid - given 6 months
Well, made it thru the first week of radiation. Still have alot of weakness in my legs but pain level has greatly improved. Will sart "buggin" Dr Lohgin for an appointment. Just don't feel that I can relax until the IT Treatment has started. If anyone know of another doctor that does this, let me know I am willing to do whatever it takes.
