Thanks all--it's horrid waking in the night, swallowing more pain meds to keep the guy with the spear in my side quiet, and dull the throbbing in the lumps.
I see my consultant on Wednesday, he's been 'monitoring' the lumps from when there were only 2, so hopefully the biopsy results will be back by then.
He had mentioned the possibility of some radiation to shrink them, but that was the beginning of the month, before the 'growth spurt' and discoloration started.
I also need him to up the pain meds--I seem to need at least 2 Breakthrough doses every day,, especially at night.
In the meantime, those hugs and good wishes will keep me going folks!
Love Brenda
