Hey Marcia,

I was thinking exactly the same things as Becky - they say that moving is one of the top 3 stressful things in life.
It would be great if you could get into Dr. Pegram's office in Miami, and while you're there, stop for a bagel and lox at Einstein Bros. - that should help your headaches.

My DD was having headaches the past few weeks, she went to the dr. who examined her, and as soon as the dr. pressed a certain area of her head, my DD yelled - that's where it hurts. The dr. gave her Naproxen for 10 days, says it is tension headaches. DD has been on the meds for 4 days now, headaches are gone.

Anyways Marcia, the moral of the story is... get it checked out... but again remember the "tension" you've been under lately. Try not to worry too much. I know it isn't easy, but in the meantime before getting into the onc., is there a regular GP you could see....?

all the best
