Thanks Craig and Susan! I hope that the radiation works as well for your loved ones as it has for me -- the femur pain is all but gone!! It was fantastic being able to keep up with the kids and grand kids over the Christmas period without leg pain! In fact, this was the best holiday period since diagnosis - I'm so glad that I have perservered with all the treatments and side effects -- it was really worth it!! The cramping eased over Christmas - fortunately - but has come back a bit over the past two days. I'm hoping that 'time will heal' and that by the time I see my oncologist next week that it will be totally gone.
Its suddenly become very HOT down here - 36 - 39 degrees C daily (well over 100 F) - so most of the day is spent resting in an air conditioned room and only going out in the evening to water the garden!! I'm hoping the imposed rest will solve the problem!! Best wishes to you all for improved health and happiness in the New Year!!
