Tomorrow will finally be my 15th treatment for the three inch lymph node laying on the aortic in my stomach. It has been a long 3 weeks with many ups and downs. I believe it is working only because the pain in my back has gotten much better and my right foot and leg is not swollen anywhere near like it was.
Monday I go back to see the oncologist to see what is next. That is when it will be decision time for me as to what he wants to do next. I'm sure, before I make any kind of decision as to whether to continue treatment or not, I will be coming to you wonderful ladies for your input.
Sorry I haven't been on the boards as of late but the radiation has really knocked my socks off. There have been days that it was all I could do was to get dressed, have my hubby drive the hour and 15 minute drive into Pittsburgh for the radiation and then drive back.

So glad to hear from you Ann. Now I don't want to hear from you again until you are feeling MUCH better!!!

so very glad the lessened pain has shown that this has been worthwhile for you. We NEED those benchmarks to endure the treatments.

much love, many hugs,
patty
