Sorry
Hello, I'm sorry I haven't posted here, but I'm not quite sure how to be help accepter rather than the helper.
Things are not going well. While I've started on a new chemo which may or may not be working and supposed to add a second after my whole brain radiation - the biggest thing is my brain.
The one spot I had zapped before (about 3 months) is growing again. They won't do it in the U.P. because of the type of radiation I had before and they won't do it in Chicago because I had the wafers put into the tumor that was very close by.
I had a special brain scan yesterday...we will see what comes of it.
It isn't that I haven't wanted to post here. It is just that I didn't feel I could be of any help to anyone else. I finally made up my mind that I was going to post today and try and keep up agian. After all, I could be of help to someone else even if I just "listen".
Anyway, sorry about the delay, I just couldn't help myself.
