Wow, - Brenda needs someone like you where she's at to call her doctors and tell them how it REALLY is! Vent all you like, Lyn - maybe it will get around to the pain management people and make an impression. My son sure had a tough time with Rad, but from all I've heard, here there are people who have a relatively easy time of it. I sure hope you are one of those people!
