Breathe with me Pam, I know this is not the news we wanted to hear, I am saddened once again. You do need this treatment to work and I am praying for great results getting these nasties destroyed. Controlling these spots will be some work to catch up on but Ed can be your bone met mascot and living proof. He has been able to keep the bone mets under some kind of control and that is not too bad a track record for almost 3 years. My wishes are the same for you Lovey. Are there any large, more problemed spots that might be a radiation option in the meantime of destructing them nasties?? I would suggest that you keep an eye on any pain and be prepared beforehand just in case you need pain medication. We are going to sit here and watch you beat the living crap out of these newest mets....and Pam, we will surely triump right along with you when you do. If there is anything I can help you with please feel free to ask.>>Love>>Believe51
