Anna,

So sorry to hear it. I am sure like me you just wanted to get to the end of treatment. Are you almost done with the chemo regiment? Did you go to a new oncologist? How was the radiation?

Before my excision biopsy the surgeon asked me if I needed any pain meds and I said no, but as she was walking out I told her she could get me some ativan. And she came back and said 1mg, I said no 2mg so I can cut them in half. And she did. So at least I am able to sleep through the night. And I am either sleeping through my night sweats, which last for 30 minutes a piece or I am not having them due to the ativan.

Good luck to you I hope treatment will be over for you soon. And thank you for responding.
