Re: Update on my lung
I've had 4 doses of Prednisone now and I feel SO MUCH better. At the rate my overall health was declining, I swear I might be hospitalized by now if I hadn't started treatment. Evidently the rad onc knew it was urgent, because she went to extra effort to get me in to be seen.
Yeah, Tracy, I think I need someone whose view of "palliative care" is more proactive (though I think alleviating pain and suffering fits just about any definition of "palliative.") I want to stay as well as possible, not just keep ricocheting from illness to illness. None of my problems have yet been directly from the cancer itself. It's a complex condition to manage, and my onc seems pretty balkanized.
