Hi Linda! Sometimes this stuff is truly the pits, isn't it! I'm dealing with so much pain in my right arm and neck where I had rads a few weeks ago. I see both the rad onc. and the onc on Thursday and Friday so I know I'll get some answers. But I know you must be worried because this new stuff works on our brains doesn't it. I've just tried to stay busy and do lots of little walks. Seems to clear my mind for a while. I'm so sorry you have this stuff. Surely do hope you get some answers quickly and that they are all GOOD! Thinking great thoughts for you today! ma
