Re: My 5 years
Thank you all for your well wishes.
My picture was taken at my youngest son's senior night basketball game. When I was dx, he was in the seventh grade and my oldest was in the 8th. Oldest is now in college and youngest graduates high school this year. Just think what I might have missed had I not found this site and garnered such valuable information along with encouragement to get involved in my treatment. I encourage all to get informed and get involved.
V-ness, Neurontin does help me with hot flashes---doesn't end them, but it has diminished their intensity. Nights aren't nearly so bad now. PM me if you have questions.
