Thanks, Brenda, for the tip.

There are SO many online cancer support groups now, that I don't subscribe to them all!

Dr. Gralow is MY medical oncologist, and she is extrememly thorough and up to date on what treatments are working for people. She is always very complimentary on my ability to stay NED after two bouts with mets. But she will order any scans or tests to look into anything I bring up or am worried about.
Peace of mind is a hard thing to keep when the mets boogyman is hovering around.
