Thanks Donna and Sheila. I had similar thoughts about the bone scan results. My late Sept. chest x-ray showed no trouble spots in my ribs and I'm not too worried about the new development. I know how you feel Sheila about heavy legs and trouble getting to sleep. I'm glad I wore my fancy high heeled sandals last summer for a last summer of attractive footwear :-). I don(t trust my balance with any sort of heel now.
At this point, I have no new "countdown" date as it will be up to me to decide if the treatment bites worse than cancer. I'm glad that we're tolerating it so well and that it is working so well. Your comment about going that extra mile was just what I thought when he brought up the topic of continuing.
Thanks for the quick replies (it's already bedtime on Tuesday night here).
Hugs,
