After two days on the antibiotics, my mom thought she was maybe feeling a bit better. Last night she began having severe pain in the shoulder and back. My dad took her into emerg, and they did a cardiac work up on her, but that wasn't the problem. EKG, and labs came back fine, and nitro didn't help. They gave her morphine 5mgx2 which seemed to help. CXR didn't show anything. She went home with the pain killers. The ER doc. wasn't quite sure what it could be. Maybe from the radiation? Maybe from laying on a not too good mattress for too long. Bone mets weren't mentioned to my dad, but I'm praying that it isn't that. It sure is hard being so far away. My dad is going to try and talk her into coming home (to Canada). Please keep us in your prayers.
Thanks,
