      Janet,

      I'm so sorry those suckers are growing again. I'm putting them on my "sap them back to hell" prayer list. Please stock up on pain meds. I know you don't want to get hooked on them but trust me…,bite the bullet on this one. About 3-4 days after your white blood cell booster shot your bones are gonna start screaming (I know everyone's different so this might not happen, fingers crossed). My pain seems to go where my weakest link is, like my lower back always gives me problems and that's excatly where my pain wants to go to first. I surrendered to pain meds a month ago and 'em so glad I did. Eat well, rest, get some funny moives, take pain meds, you'll be fine, you can do this…fight….love, Sharon in Reno Stage IV
