Thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers.

After yesterday's 1st TCH treatment I feel pretty good so far - no s/e, except I slept a lot yesterday. I refuse to take benedryl so that wasn't it. But I did have acupunture after chemo so maybe that impacted the sleepiness. Then when I went to bed I couldn't go to sleep right away & worried that the 10 mg of dex was going to keep me up so I took an ativan and slept well.

I told the acupunturist about the many bone mets & he used some points that are specific for bone health/grow. I'm new at this acupunture - only my 3rd treatment so I don't know if anything is changing yet, but I'm planning to keep going with it for a few months anyway to give it a good try.

By the way I'm not having any pain that I can identify as 'bone met' pain. Only some occasional aches that I attibrute with to muscle strains, aging body, sleeping wrong on a shoulder, etc.

I'll add my "DAMN disease" voice to your comments as well. My cousin who I'd just visited in CA emailed me in response to my news that she stomped around her whole house saying damn, damn, damn... when she read my news. (Sorry, Joe, I've gone way over my quota of cuss words in print)
