RandyW, I can't tell you how MUCH I APPRECIATE you taking the time to give me those links. It means the world to me. I've had a rough year fighting an aggressive breast cancer myself...stage IIIA, with positive nodes. So I have ALWAYS been the one to take my Mom to doctors appts. This times its been my brother and he means well but he does NOT ask questions...and he's NOT good at letting the onc know whats going on with her it seems.
So your timing with these links are EXCELLENT as her next appt with onc is Thursday and I FINALLY get to go to this one. I ask LOTS of questions and I like to know everything! In fact my own doctors and onc gets annoyed with how involved I want to be. They like the people that don't ask questions it seems. But thats just not me. I am off to check out all the links you gave me and see what will be helpful on Thursday. I want to be prepared. I am so thankful I found this board. I will update as soon as possible and no doubt will be back with more questions. Thanks again!
Chelee
