Re: Mets to bone
Hi Felicia,
I think you need to give yourself time to heal and feel better.
Tell your medical oncologist how lousy you feel. If he won't help you or understand how you feel, then tell another doctor. Your doctor should listen to you and want to help you. They work for you.
Hope that helps a bit.
Best wishes,
D.W.
