But you were the observant one not the Dr. I too almost had to kiss rear to get someone to listen to me and do a biopsy. I have lived the past 4 yrs with after affects and wonder what I would be like had they listened. Good job marks for you and I pray you will be fine soon. With no rads or chemo, maybe you will return to normal soon. I have to spell my last name because I in no way say it anymore. I even hate to talk as it makes pain come running. But I am still alive.
