David,

Glad you found the board and the many helpful people that are here. Especially while you are going through your treatment. There are many things the doctor's will forget to mention about side effects, or not mention until you have already worried about it.

You have people here that have tried and done different things to alleviate some of the pain and discomfort. So ask away as thing scome up.

You have a great attitude going, keep it up. And in response to your statistic comments, I couldn't agree more. They are only numbers.

As I read the other day from a survivor:
"cancer is a word; not a sentence"

Take care,
Dinah
