Re: Oh come on now....

Shingles are so PAINFUL! I am sorry you are experiencing them. I supposed you have been offered the antivirals and now are in the "gotta ride it out to the end" stage of shingles which is just misery! I doubt that your Onc will deny your request which is more than reasonable. I wish you a hasty resolution to the shingles saga. Shingles and cancer both come straight from the pit of hell!
