Hi Susan,
I'm sorry to hear about your recent pain concerns. I have been complaining about pain in my upper back and shoulder blade area, too, recently and even after 7 1/2 years NED my first thought is STILL "the cancer is back"...I had to smile at your comments about your onc.-my onc. is the same way. Not a drop of encouragement ever (I only got that from the nurses). I remember when she told me years ago that my survival odds were 50-50. I thought would it kill her to say 51-49? Keeping you in my prayers.
