Hi Grace,

Thanks for asking. The hand is little better now, I am still taking motrin. My onc feels it is not a tissue damage or nerve damage but reaction to Navelbine, I am hoping it will get better as the days pass. Today I am going to place my port. I am little concerned for blood drwas as that is the only arm I can draw blood from for the tests.

Thank you,
Julie
