A young friend of my daughters who just turned 16 had cancer in her shoulder the same time I was diagnosed and she was in remission. We just found out she has hours to live. It has spread to her heart. We are in shock....it is awful when someone is so young to have this happen. We will add to our prayer list! I hope your injections work. I had cortisone injected into the base of each side of my skull a few years ago and it took care of the pain for a long time in the neck and upper spine area. It is probably time for another one, although I don't know how many times one can be injected with cortisone? Do you attribute your pain to Gleevec, and are you interested in the new BMS drug? - Lynne A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
