I went to see my fanily doctor today, I see him once a month. I had to go ealyt because I was itching so bad and my body was covered in the rash. I just wanted to dig my skin because of the itch, He gave me a perscription, and said it should help and let him know. He has talked to my cancer doctors . They told him my other health conditions such as COPD, heart disease, bad diabetic and the type of chemo that my body wouldn't be able to stand it. but shouldn't I get the chance to try and quite if it starts getting me down, and why didn't they say that? He did say because of age also. He said the goverment is making it hard .He said the doctors was stating facts about my health and agreed they should have had a bed side manner. I go back Tuesday to get my scan results. If they come back okay, I won't have to worry for a while. This cancer  I recieved from the radiation I took after my lumpectomy five years ago. It is called Angiosarcoma cancer, it is really radiation cancer. It always comes back, its rare and not much works against it. From August 2012 till February 2013 I had four surgerys between these times because it kept coming back. I will be drained again. I will let you know the results after Tuesday. I thank everyone for there help. Thank you again prayers and hugs for everyone
