      Thank you so much for your reply some times it’s seems like a lonely confusing world out here. and not being able to convince her to travel to a bigger city to see a specialist most of my learning and understanding of the treatments,side effects,family effects,personal effects and everything else that we have to deal with is done here.
      I read the post every day and I believe I have read all of the profiles. And find myself retreading whenever I need a hug and a little understanding. Again THANK YOU!

      Her oncologist is reluctant to start any kind of steroid treatment due to a bad reaction she had while being on prednisone when she was having chemo treatments for breast cancer. He said any kind of steroid use would have to be done in hospital.
      Ok she is 71 years old and doesn’t want to live in a hospital bed or be sick constantly from taking a pill that is suppose to help you. A year go she was out square dancing 3 times a week and taking care or her home and land herself. She just wants the disease to go away so she can get back to being her. then there are some days she back with the program and on board to try nd fight this monster.
      I feel so helpless and frustrated.
