Thank you to all who replied. Lu-ann, your frustration is quite similiar to my sister's. She went in for chemo today, but refused because she was in such pain...her abdomen. They did an ultrasound...it appears to be nothing other than the constipation caused from the Navelbine. Anyway, she went home without having any treatment, not even Herceptin. She doesn't want to take the Navelbine anymore..she doesn't feel that she can deal with the pain any longer. For the first time in a very long time, she took Morphine and it did NOTHING for the pain. Of course, I want her to stay on it, but I'm not the one experiencing this..I'm frustrated for her..that she has to go through this, but I want her to maintain a fighting spirit and treat this aggessively. Her bones and liver are doing well and I can't help being upset that she didn't even take the Herceptin. I feel as though she's ready to throw in the towel. She meets with her Onc. on Monday. I will drive to Ottawa to attend the meeting with her. I guess he'll try something else with the Herceptin. Any suggetiions?
She has to wait until Monday to get her MRI results regarding her brain met.
Phew! Thanks for letting me speak (type) my mind!
