Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Lynn, I have just been re-reading some of the messages. If I had this problem, I would find a good massage therapist that did deep tissue massage. I think it would clear it up.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I agree! . . . A good massage therapist will release tight areas that impede blood flow.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Lynn, Just got back from the PET scan. Have a bunch of fluid in my lungs again. Probably have to have it removed again very soon. Got the paperwork, will know about the PET scan Tues. P.M. This report says positive for malignant cells metastatic carcinoma, consistent with a breast primary. So this is from the breast cancer I had 18 years ago. How about that?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Lynda, Did you treat with chemo 18 years ago? Again, I am so sorry. Wonders me. I have heard of so many cases of people who have survived cancer just to get it again. I will pray you'll be able to beat again. I know we aren't suppose to talk personally, but how is your husband doing? I am thinking of you.... love, Lynn > > > > > > > > > > I would suspect it is the peripheral neuropathy so many of us > >have. > > > >I > > > > > recently found something that seems to help, other than the pain > > > >medication, > > > > > Prednisone and other stuff I take.
