have alot of evasive doctors. None seem to want to make a statement of any

One told me it could take a year, one told me I'd be this way the rest of my

life, however long that may be (wasn't that just sweet of him?). My local

doctor is the most supportive. I see him again next Wednesday. So far we

haven't tried much of anything except exercise, trying to get some muscle mass

back

again in my legs.

He now has my records, so I think it is time to get started on figuring

something out.

Hi ....omigosh, it makes me so mad that a dr. would say that to you in

that way!!! He belongs working in Ingrid's horse barn!! At least the horses

wouldn't really understand what he was saying, but he's not even good enough

for the stable!!! How can a physician, a healer of bodies say things like

that to a Cancer patient (or any patient, for that matter!!!)

Ask your Onc. dr. about steroids for building muscle mass...some have used

them with great benefits. Glenn can't take them...and right now, without my

notes handy, I can't remember why, but b/c of something else going on in the

body, so when I asked about them, Onc. said not a good idea for him. Worth a

try, tho!!!
