    Hi @hcharn,

    Thank you for the update — it sounds like things are moving forward step by step, even if the waiting in between can feel so hard. ❤️

    Seeing Radiation Oncology is a really common next part of the process, and it doesn’t automatically mean you will need radiation — often it’s simply part of making sure your team has all the information and options laid out for you. It can be a helpful visit to ask questions, understand what it would look like if recommended, and feel more prepared.

    Those in-between weeks can bring up a lot of uncertainty, so please know we’re thinking of you and are here anytime you want to talk through what’s on your mind as that appointment gets closer. 💗

    i will start radiation therapy next month. Blood count went us so i didn’t need another transfusion. Still having bone pain from the neulasta. Taking the claritin and aleve. Sometimes I have to double up. I want to do more to increase my strength. But some days i can only breath.
