    Prayers being sent your way!

    I am glad you are getting some relief from the pain.  I hope you are soon pain and cancer-free.  I am hoping that Keytruda works!  Try to keep your spirits up.

    PAIN

    Thanks very much for posting this, it was painful for us to read (out of caring for you). I’m glad you got admitted and the pain control is better.  Pain can sap energy, stress us out, and is not a good idea to try to ignore. There are options, even treatments for nerve pain.  Cancer pain management programs have many tools. Glad you let others know pain control is Improving, and that’s it’s a good idea to tell your treatment team about it and try the recommended treatments!

    Was worried about you!

    And seems with good reason but so glad they moved swiftly on the pain and the radiation. You have been in my thoughts daily as I would check in and look for your post. Sounds like they have devised a routine that is better and giving you some relief. I had a friend tell me "Don't be such a hard A ... tell them loudly that you are hurting and keep telling them." My wishes are for the shrinkage to be great and your pain to be less. All of us are pulling for you. xoxo DF
