Sally I had some injections in my spine prior to being diagnosed with cancer. They injected some steroid on two occasions to relieve pain caused by a ruptured disk. It did help with the pain.

Welcome Sally this board is full of fabulous, friendly, informative, helpful folks. I am a fellow Okie and from the looks of it only about 40 miles or so between us. I had neurontin and am currently on lyrica .... had an appointment with my Onc yesdterday and she increased the milligrams I take to see if it would help with the pain. I did not have surgery but have some residual radiation damage that we are trying to control. When receiving chemo and radiation at the same time I literally lived off of shakes with ice cream and Ensure and malt powder and chocolate syrup. I managed to put on about 20 pounds so I say eat whatever tastes good to you. Let us know how things are going.

Welcome Ken ... this is a great place with a lot of fantastic folks.

Carolv they did collapse my lung when they did the biopsy but after 5 wonderful days in the hospital I was back out amongst them with a diagnosis of nsclc. It was inoperable so we attacked with 37 radiation treatments along with weekly chemo therapy. Oh yes, one week into chemo the nurse decided I should have a port. Yep you guessed it the collapsed my other lung ... hence another 5 days in the hospital. It has been a year since I completed the rounds of treatment and so far PET scans have shown the cancer is stable. I will be glad to talk to you if you want to send me a message.

Darn it Ry I hated seeing this post. After hearing you describe the procedure in chat I just can't imagine being transported even by ambulance in the middle of this going on. Prayers for the both of you.

Don the fact that you called cancer merely "STUPID" speaks volumes as to the kind of person you truly are deep down inside. Keep us posted on the pneumonia as well as how the docs respond to your game plan.
