Smile Re: scan and doctor update

Hi Pam

Sorry to hear your news. Hopefully the new chemo/radiation will get things under control. I have swelling around my treated brain met so I have weakness in my right arm & leg which is making life difficult so back on steriods. I have an MRI to the brain booked for next week also CT of the body had a break from Chemo this week just herceptin & Zometa. Like you I am fed up but you just have to keep going and hopefully things will work out. Thinking of you all the time. With my love Dianexx
