thank you for the update on Ed. I am also so glad to hear that the treatment is 'O.K' vs really sucky. And I'm excited to see what happens on T/X. Isn't it almost a miracle in itself what our bodies can take and how we can persevere? NOT that we don't ned the real miracle and with your energy I think it is possible. thank you for inspiring such hope and happiness through your posts. And, as was mentioned, celebrate the end of the radiation!

Best to both of you!

Hi Marie,

I just completed WBR and Rads to my limbar spine last week. A Physical Therapist came here on Wed. to start me on therapy. I won't be starting new treatment for another 6 weeks. My onc. feels it would do more harm then good if I start before I'm ready. Hopefully your husbands doc. will do the same.

I'm down to 1/2 dose of decadron daily for 1 week and then 1/2 dose alternate days for 2 weeks then I'm done. Thank You God. I gained 17 lbs of fluid. I am also eating everything not nailed down. My feet were 4 times normal. I'm taking lasix, but then I have to pee all the time. Plus my legs feel like they are 150lb. each.

I continue to pray for you
Love, Lu ann
