Cheryl, thank you for your input. Not just Dr's but even friends who don't see the whole picture. You're alive and cancer free is definitely the mind set. Saw my Dr. on Friday and gave me some pain meds for nerve pain. I get the feeling of needles or hot strikes in my tongue. Hopefully this will help. She also had me talk to the nutritionist and wants be to consider counseling. I think she is starting to understand that this is not OK. Nobody wants to be in pain everyday.
