Please pray

My sister is still recovering--not from cancer but from the very aggresive treatment they used on her. The reasoning is that since they caught it early, the scraped it out surgically and then gave her both chemo and radiation to make sure they really knocked it out.

Without going into detail, she has to have a 5-hour treatment today; I'm furious that they didn't hospitalize her immediately, rather than wait 24 hours. If this situation goes sour, they may find themselves with a big fat lawsuit on their hands--and this is supposed to be one of the best hospitals around.

I have to see a neurologist today, also, because I've been having headaches that make me feel like my eyes are going to fly out of their sockets and the top of my head will explode. My opthamologist gave me a very thorough examination last week and there's nothing wrong with my eyes. Maybe it's just a pinched nerve or something; anyway I need to get it dealt with; I won't be surprised if I end up with ANOTHER MRI and/or ct scan.

I've had so many MRI's in the last 10 years--not just for headaches but other issues) I'm sure I could run that machine myself BTW, why are these emoticons so teeny? I can hardly see them.

Prayers being sent up for both of you! I hope your sister recovers quickly and you get to the bottom of the cause of your headaches.

I've lost a lot of trust in doctors in general since my mother had breast cancer in 2006. Even though the surgeon said he was "confident" that it had all been removed when she had her mastectomy, both her PCP and the oncologist recommended she have both chemo AND radiation. She was 73 at the time, with a myriad of other health problems (COPD, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure that even meds didn't control well), and I just think both treatments were just too much for her. Her bones became brittle, which they were not before, and she was just generally more "unwell" than she had been before the surgery. She died 3 years later--though not from the cancer.

Oh @FuzzyFace praying for you and your dear sister. Sisters are such a blessing and a best friend all in one. One day I will see my little sister at home above instead of just my dreams. Give your's a big squeeze and kiss. Take care of you dear one.
