Thank you for writing. My sister's name is also Debbie. She is now finished w/ radiation (as of 4-27-02).
She must heal for 2 weeks and then more x-rays to see if the radiation worked. Today she was very sick (nauseua and depressed and a lot of anxiety). She has had to be IV'd twice in the last two weeks because she has nothing in her. It seems to make her feel much better. I called her oncologist today and could get no further than a nurse that told me that her oncologist was unavailable today and if she felt that bad she needed to go to the ER. I called her family Dr. and he called and got something done. She has an appt tomorrow morning with her oncologist. I don'y know why it took another Dr. before any help was given. I am beginning to think that the disease is treated and some medical folks forget that their is a human spirit attached. It is so hard to watch her suffer like this and not be able to do anything. Thanks for writing.
