Hi Rogene ~

I am so glad to hear there is NO pain

or discomfort with this treatment. The

voice and metallic taste sounds alittle

odd, but odd is better than pain ! !

Dad has about decided to do the

radiation for his breast pain he has been

having. It is so bad it is waking him at

night. His oncologist thinks the prednisone

he took with the chemo " woke back up"

the lupron shots he had before his prostate

surgery 11 years ago, and he now has

gynecomasty. He gave Dad the options

radiation, mastectomy, or live with it.......

it is disrupting his life horribly, so he is

gonna try the radiation, if that doesnt

work, then the mastectome. Sad.....an

81 yr old man maybe needing a mastectomy

to remove intense pain from medical treatment

he had 11 years ago ! ! !

I pulled up the professional info on Lupron

a couple weeks ago and Dad read it, and

he is really upset about what all it said. The

doctors didnt tell him all the horrible side

effects, he wouldnt have done it had he

known. They used it to shrink the prostate

so it would be smaller and easier for the

surgeon to get out..........so, it wasnt medically

necessary, only surgeon conveinence....

They said Dad's reaction was rare. but they

have seen it before....

I hope your treatment goes well today, and

you have a great day !

Love

Dede
