While frustrating, the ultimate outcome is very good: symptoms typically disappear in about four years.

It's been several years for my sister and she says she is just now feeling what used to be normal. She had lung cancer, had a partial lung removal, chemo that almost killed her three times..she had bone scans every 3 months for years but the last few years twice a year. It's been grueling with a lot of other kinds of heart ache along the way. She is brave, much braver then I would be.

kittygirl, its amazing what strength you have when you need it. We can surprise ourselves with what we are capable of. Your inner strength is there.

Glad to to hear your sister is moving forward and is still in recovery.

Hugs, Deb

YAY! for Dapper!!!

May 29, I will undergo a colonoscopy with a procedure being done for the bleeding as well as an endoscopy and a "stretching" of the esophagus to follow the colonoscopy! So, I am getting a "two for one".
My fiancee' will be here to go with, and being an RN is a HUGE relief for me to have her there.....
