Hi everyone:
I just chatted with Kathleen. She's having a less-than-stellar day. Her back is bothering her (a daily hindrance, even with pain meds), and she's feeling flu-like symptoms which are affecting her appetite. Of course, the fact that I awakened her from a nap to ask her how she was doing probably didn't help (sorry, kiddo.) She did say that she's been "so-so" over the past few days.
I found interesting, high-level overviews of metastatic breast cancer at http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/03/22/cancer.qa/index.html, http://www.webmd.com/breast-cancer/features/metastatic-breast-cancer-chronic-condition and http://www.mbcnetwork.org/uploads/FinalBrochure_p7.pdf. A more comprehensive, medical description of cancer that has spread to the spine can be found at http://espinedoctor.com/diagnosis_cancer.htm. As one of the overviews suggests, you can only read so much into what is offered in these documents, as each individual is unique.
I'll share more photos of Kathleen next time we see her.
Love,
Brian
