As you can see in my husbands signature, he has mets to all bones and brain. It does not appear that you are insensitive, you are educating yourself and bringing ammo to the doctors office with you and I say 'Good For You'. My husband is not the kind of person to ever complain; very upbeat, positive person, but he does mention where it hurts and it is always something. Sometimes he will go through a few days with his hip or lower back bothering him, but it finally will subside. As for the brain mets he had a slight headache he thought was from pain meds (never had a headache in his life..me: I get migraines!!) Whenever you have a pain for more than a week or so it is always wise to get checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Darling please talk, ask questions or vent here, and always feel free to do so. The more we all help each other, the better our journey shall be!! And I too pray all day long for all of us and our families!!

Good luck with the appointment>>Believe51
