Thanks... Ask your doc about Cal/Mag drips before and after your treatments. It is proven to help. Both of my Oncs agreed. One from Stanford and one from SF Cal/Pac.
Went for a hike with them today. Well, they took me. : ) Not so bad if I don t ice them.
I think that was really making them worse.
You hang in there to, sounds like you are doing well so far.
